Season Matchup: 10-5 in favour of Kingston

Kingston: Runs scored – 817 (1st in WL); runs allowed – 630(1st in WL).
Cambria: Runs scored – 767 (2nd in WL); runs allowed – 721 (3rd in WL).

The 1941 Western League Pennant series features two familiar foes. For the third consecutive season, the Kingston Pelicans and Cambria Cannons squared off against each other for the Pennant. This is the fourth consecutive season that the Pelicans have reached the playoffs. Cambria prevailed last season and is the defending United Cup Champion. But things have changed. The Cannons come into the playoffs severely weakened due to season-long injuries and were never able to recapture their groove. Their best player, LF Ron Westmacott, would not make an appearance in the series after tearing ankle ligaments back in November.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans cruised to a1st place finish in the West. But they began to struggle in the last couple of months as well.

Both teams are looking to reassert themselves and get back to the United Cup Series where anything can happen.
