EL News: Playoffs begin
Playoff baseball is the ultimate experience: the once-in-a-lifetime chance of winning the Explorer Cup.

Beginning today, every player will be under intense pressure. Players might come through in the clutch or fail to rise to the challenge. Managers will be analyzed, second-guessed and third-guessed by observers across the land, all in the span of a nine-inning matchup. The luckiest ones will be there to hoist the championship trophy up to the deafening roar of the fans.

It all starts today with the Wildcard Series and these clashes: 
<Colorado Springs Avalanche:team#14> versus <Olympia Battle Cats:team#95>, <Oklahoma City Whirlwind:team#13> (BYE), <Atlanta Peaches:team#107> versus <Birmingham Vulcans:team#20> and <Fresno Grizzles:team#103> (BYE).
