Update :

Both Wild Card series go to a deciding 5th game!

Imperial League
Scotland (96-66, GM Vic Caleca) vs Arlington (84-78, GM Justin Barker)


vs

Thanks to recently-acquired right-fielder José Guillén's 3-for-5 performance with 4 RBI in game 4, the Claymores tie up the 'all-rookie-GM' series 2-2!

The Bureaucrats looked like a well-oiled machine at first, as they took games 1 and 3 with fabulous pitching performances from veteran Motoyuki Hatsutori and unlikely blue-collar workhorse Roberto Camacho!

To counter, Scotland was able to put together two wins of their own on evenings 2 and 4, both scored 7-4, by letting star outfielder José Guillén do his thing! So far this series, the ex-Kalamazoo Badger has hit .375 with 3 home runs and 6 RBI!

As the deciding Game 5 arrives, will Scotland's league-leading offense led by Guillen power though, or will Arlington's stellar pitching get it done? Which rookie GM, Vic or Justin, moves on to the Division Series?? Stay tuned!

Sovereign League
Neo-Tokyo (95-67, GM Ron Hiscock) vs Bakersfield (94-68, GM Dan Vail)


vs

The Sovereign League Wild Card has been all pitching so far.

Runs are at a premium in the Sovereign League Wild Card series! Neo-Tokyo, arguably the league's youngest competitive team, has shown that their pitching can pair up with the best, as their starters have captured 'player of the game' honors in all but one of the games so far. In games 1, 3 and 4, Fernandez, Fererira and Ramos got the nods respectively, and won 2 games so far.

Despite this, Bakersfield, which is well-known for it's unstoppable pitching, has also been very efficient in the series. On 2 of the 4 nights (with Watson and Womack starting), the team eked out a win. The problem with the Bears has been offense, which the team has little. In 4 games, they have only scored more than 3 runs once...

Can Ron get his epic rebuild to the next level? Or will Dan ride his pitching staff to glory and face his brother Kevin in the Division Series? The deciding Game 5 is coming up!
