Sutton is the only one left from the 2069 Pro Cup champions.
That bunch may have been the top IPA dynasty of all-time... 10 pennants and 4 Pro Cups from 2060 to 2069 was really something.
I'll be pulling for them... it will depend on the pitching in the seventh game... Andre Zajac's best years are behind him when he was with Valmara in the Ruthlandian Union... but he is still just 31 years old... maybe there something left after 11 seasons in the IPA... lifetime he is 139-105 with a 3.25 ERA... Zajac was 15-10 this season with a 3.25 ERA... in the postseason career he is 6-6 with a 4.36 ERA... Zajac is 1-1 in his 2 starts this year in the playoffs with a 3.18 ERA... he lost 5-0 in the series opener and won game four 3-1.
William Pike will get the call for the Tucks... he has spent 10 years with the Tiger Cats, posted a 139-95 record with a 2.99 ERA... lifetime he is 2-4 in the postseason with a 3.77 ERA... this season Pike was 13-8 with a 3.24 ERA... he is 1-1 in the playoffs with a 3.18 ERA... Pike beat Zajac 5-0 in the opener... but he lost game four to him 3-1.
Whoever goes deepest in the game will win it... neither team has much in the bullpen.
