Defending champion Mwaliyas put their undefeated record on the line today against current No. 2 Ochobu as the two teams clash to determine who will win the pennant of the World Organized Rocball High School League.
Mwaliyas, which has won all six regular season games, can secure the pennant with a win at the Marianas High School Gymnasium, while Ochobu can force a one-game playoff if they come out on top. Ochobu is just one game behind Mwaliyas in the team standings with a 5-1 win-loss record.
Game time is set at 11:30am and the bout is expected to conclude tomorrow.
If Mwaliyas win, the team will face the winner of the one-game playoff between B-n-S and Black Magic, who are tied in fourth place with 4-3 records.
Black Magic and B-n-S will play their playoff on Wednesday.
Rocball creator Jim Feger had earlier announced that only four teams will advance to the playoffs, which will begin sometime next month.
Feger said that if Ochobu beats Mwaliyas and are tied in the team standings, they will also have to play a one-game playoff to determine who will be the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
“I’ll be off island so if Ochobu wins, their one-game playoff will be held when I get back next month,” Feger said.
Already securing the No. 3 spot are the Lagooners players, who will face the loser of the Mwaliyas-Ochobu bout.
