Ginza, Valmara Favored In IPA Final 4
The Islandian Pro Alliance Pro Cup playoffs are down to four teams. The second-seeded Ginza Ninjas, fourth-seeded Valmara Vipers, fifth-seeded Rolling Hills Reds and eight-seeded Stoner Stars have made the cut. Valmara upset the number-one seed Crystal Lake, Ginza whipped the sixth seed Hartsdale, Rolling Hills upended third-seeded Tuckanarra and Stoner knocked off the number seven seed Sugar Valley. All of the Elite 8 Series were hotly-contested with two of them going the full seven games and two of them being decided in six games.

In the Tycobbian Union Final 4 Ginza is forecast to whip Rolling Hills and Valmara is rated better than Stoner in the Ruthlandian Union championship series. The Ninjas host the Reds at Ninja Stadium tomorrow afternoon in game one, while the Vipers will welcome the Stars to War Memorial Stadium.

Ginza is led by two outstanding starters: Hollis Pace (21-10/2.79) and Loris Plooster (18-11/2.73) and a slew of solid hitters: Johnny O'Rorke (.296/27/86/85), Cotton Cornwall (.337/25/107/87), Russ Van Kleek (.320/21/79/78) and Sadaharu Uchiyama (.306/11/63/97). Young Johnny Brown (17-10/2.86) and veteran Errol Gaudet (21-13/3.38) are Rolling Hills best hurlers. The Reds best batters are Pat Webb (.311/21/104/73) and Billy Christianson (.300/15/94/106). The Ninjas are expected to be in the Pro Cup Finals against the Valmara Vipers.

Valmara has the edge over Stoner on the mound with three strong starters in Carroll Cain (21-12/2.90), Chris Phillips (18-10/2.82) and Teddy Lem (19-12/2.97). At the plate the Vipers top guns are Teddy Szymanski (.292/21/87/79) and Floyd Randolph (.264/23/87/66). Stoner has the superior bats with Jeff Henderson (.296/20/90/63), Kevin Fisher (.297/7/67/92), Neil Mooney (.310/19/69/72), Fletch Fowler (.288/16/75/60) and Al Rispone (.286/10/58/84). On the hill the Stars possess two solid starters with Glenn Tackett (21-13/3.00) and Raul Hidalgo (19-13/3.10).
