2015 PREMIER CONFERENCE 1st ROUND PREDICTIONS
#8 Bellwoods @ #1 Leslieville
Bellwoods is a much different team since they got beat downs at the hands of the Brickie's in the regular season. . Ryan Avey is the beast we thought he was. Leon Perez is coming around on the mound and since The Breakers parted ways with Gio Perna it's been more playing time for the rest of the crew. Leslieville will be without the TBL RBI and Homerun and Fielding leader in Rocky Parejo. But the rest of Brick Town is ready to pick up the slack and go on another playoff run.
Edge Leslieville
#5 BirchCliff Bears @ #4 St.Clair Saints
The rankings are deceiving here. BirchCliff has pretty much owned StClair this season winning both contests. The Saints have not had a run against Art Stoner yet and The big bat of Steve DiRenzo has been silenced this far. He is 0-10 against BC. Pitcher of the Year candidate Joel Heard should keep it close but in the end The Bears win @ The Den.
Edge. Birch Cliff.
#7 North York masons @ #2 Beach Dusters
The Masons are known to be giant killers but this giant could be too big to bring down. After losing Tim Loat early in the Season it's been rough sailing for a team that struggles to get a cohesive unit on the field.
The Dusters are arguably the best hitting team in the league right now and it will take mystical magic for NY to hold them down. There is nary a hole in their lineup and the machine from the Beach is ready to conquer all.
Edge: Beach
#6 Cliffside Heights @ #3 Roncesvalles Rockets
Can we say the Rockets have flown under the radar going into the playoffs? Which Ronci team will show up? The one that could only muster one run against the Masons last week? Or the one that scored 11 the last time they faced Cliffside.
Joe Callahan is 2-0 against Gino Collura and Co but if anyone knows how to hit Joe, it's his old Foe, Ashley Allinson. Cliffside is reeling after finishing the season with 5 losses in a row but they almost took down the Dusters in their last game. They are in the perfect position for an upset at The Den
Slight Edge Cliffside
