EL News: Playoffs begin
The quest for the Explorer League Explorer Cup championship gets underway today. The regular season is now over and the so-called "second season" begins. For fan and player alike this is the sweetest part of the season -- the Wildcard Series. The baseball experts have made their predictions, but teams will do it or die on the diamond. The best team doesn't always win -- sometimes it's the lucky team that is fated to win the crown -- sometimes it's the team that gets hot late in the season that wins -- and sometimes talent wins out and takes the glory. The winner will be one of these teams: 
<Oklahoma City Whirlwind:team#13> (BYE), <Eugene Ducks:team#11> vs <Glendale Cobras:team#16>, <Cleveland Attack:team#21> (BYE) and <Birmingham Vulcans:team#20> vs <Fresno Grizzlies:team#103>.
