FOUR CLUBS COMPETE FOR PRO CUP SPOTS
After a week of first-round postseason play there are still four contenders for the IPA Pro Cup... Sugar Valley (103-51) and White River (97-57) have emerged as the likely combatants in the Pro Cup Finals this year... the Rattlers and Rascals will be favored over two lesser lights, the Waleska Westerners (87-67) and Arlon Champions (88-66) in the League Championship Series getting started this Monday in Sugar Valley and White River.
Sugar Valley and Waleska topped Middlefield (82-72) and defending IPA crownbearer Valmara (104-50) in Ruthlandian first round play and White River and Arlon tamed San Alejo (92-62) and Hillsboro (98-56) in the Tycobbian Union... the Rattlers KO'ed Middlefield in five games, while the Westerners upset Valmara in seven games after trailing 3-0... The Rascals elimininated San Alejo in five games, while Arlon had to go seven games to defeat the Hillsboro Blazers.
Opening games feature Waleska going to Sugar Valley for the first two games in the Ruthlandian LCS... in the Tycobbian Union White River will be at home in the first two games entertaining Arlon... the Rattlers and the Rascals get the benefit of the homefield advantage because of better records in the regular season... all of the playoffs series are best-of-seven games.
