Game one for both series ended close and exciting. Both game were within saving range. NBL, the favorite coming in to the playoffs, lost to the red hot XBL who just keep upsetting everybody in the tournement. They may be the most dangerous team right now in the cup.
MaxLB wins again agianst NBA, who had a lot of time off since they were the first to get past the Elite Eight. Even thought MaxLB had great pitching, NBA still managed to score 5 runs off the only 5 hits they had all game, proving that they are one of the best in offence. Les Lamoureaux Jr, a 26 year old second basebman, son of former MaxLB allstar, is showing off his talent to the rest of the world. Coming off back to back 180+ RBI seasons in the MaxLB, Lamoureaux does not look like a 2 year pro youngster in this tournament. I personally didnt think he would have done this good in the tournament, in fact, he barely made the roster and didn't start until almost mid way through the round robins. When a guys is batting .545 with 3 HR and 17 RBI's, you can be sure "this kid is gonna go far..."

Game 2's will be tomorrow but at 12:00 Pacific time. Stay Tuned, the Cup just got better!
