For the fourth season in a row, the Kingston Pelicans and the Cambria Cannons met each other in the battle for the Western League Pennant. Cambria was looking to return to the United Cup Series after a one year absence with the goal of winning their second United Cup. Kingston was looking to return for the fourth time to try and win their third championship.
Cambria would be playing without their best player in LF Ron Westmacott who suffered a fractured fibula on the eve of the All-Star break and suffered a further setback.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans enter the playoffs on a roll, having won 21 games in the final month of the season to come from behind and capture the wild card.

Game 1 was played under clear sunny skies at Cambria’s Alexander Field, with over 24,500 in attendance ready to cheer on the Cannons and razz the detested Pelicans. It was game on!
