Come to think of it, I only remember one time where the Raccoons lost in the playoffs to a team that wasn't comparable or above.

We were down 2 games to 1 vs the 83-80 St. Peters Warbirds that we went 14-5 against in the regular season. So in game 4, we were trailing 3-2 going to the top of the 9th and they had perfect Eck pitching. Luke Appling promptly tripled to lead off and the AI brought in 96 Rivera, even though Eck shouldn't have been that tired. Suzuki then singled off of Rivera to tie things up and then he walked Boggs. Finally, Keeler delivered the game winning single.

So now it's on to game 5 with our Schilling vs their 96 Gibson. Hopefully, that quote above remains true.
