AL CONFERENCE FINALS

MADISON vs WICHITA: AKA Slugfest S12

History: Madison Won S12 series 7-3. The 2 teams combined for 148 Runs in 10 games between the 2 offensive juggernauts. The Sizzler's can not afford to get in a hitting duel with the Massa's. Pitching is going to be the deciding factor in the AL. If the Sizzler's can stymie Madison's offensive they should cruise to victory they need to contain Kaline's current hot streak if they wish to return to the World Series. Garcia also needs to get back into form it seems Madison always has his number dialed in.
