The Raccoons squeaked past the Las Vegas Aces and will now play the Summit Dirigibles. We were 1st in R and 2nd in RA, while they were 2nd in R and 1st in RA. We won 115 while they won 114 and our RDiff was 339 to their 332. We played pretty even in the season series too and I expect the same again.

We came from behind in the 1st game to win 4-3. Nolan Ryan came in and walked in 2 R allowing us to tie it in the bottom of the 8th, then we got 3 straight hits off of Clarkson (who had 51 SV) to give us the 4-3 win.

Schilling will pitch next for us. So far he's 0-2 since I picked him up. He'll be facing Lefty Grove. Oddly, we went 33-8 .805 vs LHP this season (.678 vs RHP), but I really don't think we have an advantage against LHP in spite of those numbers.

I really like the greater variety of team rosters I'm seeing these days. For example, the Dirigibles have a very good negro themed offense (I guess there aren't enough negro league pitchers?). They seem to have all the top players like Josh Gibson, 100 Robinson, Charleston, etc.
