SELECT A TEAM:
The finals have been set. The Kings, after getting by the Smoke, have advanced to face the Predators, who have been waiting for their opponent after eliminating the Aces last week.
Game one is set for tonight, 8pm at Budd Park.
Both semi-final game ones were played Thursday night and both of the lower-seeded teams came out on top.
The Smoke jumped out early and managed to hang on in their 6-4 win over the Kings. While the Predators managed a nine-run inning on their way to a 10-1 victory over the Aces.
Game two for both series are scheduled for Monday night. The Kings and Smoke at 7pm and the Aces and Predators at 9pm.
And for those interested, the u23, Mens and Masters Canadian championships are at Peter Hallman all week. Details on the website.
Both first round series came to a close last night. The Smoke came away with a 5-1 win over the Selects to take the series 2-0 and the Predators closed out their round one matchup with the Diamond Jaxx with a 6-3 win (including a bottom of 7, 2-out absolute theft of high fly ball that would have tied the game).
This all leads to the semi-finals, starting Thursday. The league-leading Kings will try to stop last years champions, the Smoke from a repeat appearance in the finals, and the Aces will take on the Predators. These two teams only had two points separate them in the year-end standings, with the Predators winning the regular season matchup, 2 games to 1.
While the Kings and Aces wait, the Predators and Smoke will both be taking a game one win into next week.
Pitching seemed to be the strength at both games as the Preds managed a 1-0 win (I am hearing it took the 8th inning to do so) and the Smoke took a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the 7th where the Selects left the bases loaded in a threat to tie or win.
Game two for both series are scheduled for Monday night. The Predators and Jaxx will be the 7pm game and the Smoke and Selects, the 9pm game.
The 2025 KFL playoffs start tonight!
While the #1 Kings and #2 Aces get to sit back and wait, the #3 Predators will take on the #6 Jaxx and in a rematch of last years finals, the #4 Selects will be up against the #5 Smoke. Both series are a best 2 out of 3.
