FAB FOUR TANGLE IN IPA PLAYOFFS MONDAY
Four teams have survived the first round of action in the IPA Pro Cup playoffs... the top two choices Denton City and Valmara are gone from the postseason, leaving number three Turon as the favorite to win it all this year... however, the number five pick, Red Bluff, number six, Elnora, and number-seven ranked, St. John, still have a big say in the outcome... the Typhoons are in quest of their record-setting fifth Pro Cup trophy... Elnora and Red Bluff have garnered one apiece, while St. John is empty-handed so far.

In the Tycobbian Union League Championship Series, talented Turon will open up at home Monday afternoon at Typhoon Stadium against the redhot Red Bluff Red Sox and the unheralded Elnora All-Stars and the lightly-regarded St. John Crusaders will do battle at Cathedral Stadium in St. John... in the opening round Turon disposed of a pretty darn good team, number four Oxford, in quick fashion four games to one... Red Bluff upset number-one rated Denton City in six games... St. John pitching surprised number two Valmara in a tense seven-game series... and Elnora outhit the eighth-rated Fort Benton Defenders in six games.

In both the Tycobbian and Ruthlandian Unions, it will be very good pitching going up against strong hitting... Turon is blessed with a fine staff, while Red Bluff carries the big sticks... if the Typhoons hitters can handle the Red Sox staff, then Turon should take them in six games... the St. John Crusaders got excellent mound work in the decisive last two games of the Valmara series... and they managed to scrounge enough runs to top the Vipers... Elnora will be a test... they really can hit the baseball... and to make matters even better, the All-Stars just got slugger Donald Ray Mooney back from the DL... he didn't play in the first round, out with a bad back... this is tough series to call... it should go the full seven games... Elnora just might get some decent pitching to go with its hard-hitting attack... give the slight edge to the All-Stars.

Let the games begins... and may the best teams win.
