EL News: Playoffs begin
Some clubs have coasted to make the playoffs -- others have scrapped tooth and nail to get here. After a long, sometimes seemingly endless regular season, it gets down to who can win a short series -- by hook or crook, talent or luck. That's what it takes to capture the Explorer League championship. The top teams will vie in the Round 3 starting today: 
<Idaho Falls Rapids:team#99> (BYE), <St. Louis Sportsman:team#10> versus <Olympia Battle Cats:team#95>, <Wilmington Eagles:team#24> (BYE) and <Pittsburgh Crawfords:team#23> versus <Atlanta Peaches:team#107>.
