Springfield Sweeps into the Divisional Round
Thursday, October 2nd, 2036
Many baseball pundits expected a close series in the Continental League Wildcard Round. It turned out quite a bit different.
The Springfield Stars swept aside the Vista Panthers to advance to the Divisional Round, winning the final game by a 6-5 score at Kekambas Park.
The series MVP was third baseman Milton Nixon, who hit .500 with a .571 on-base percentage. He had 2 home runs, drove in 2 RBI and scored 4 runs.
"We expected this series to go right down to the wire, so to sweep is a bit of a surprise," he said. "But we'll take it."
The Springfield Stars will play against the St. Louis Browns in the next round. St. Louis had a bye in the Wildcard Round. The Divisional Round schedule will be announced after the Wildcard Round finishes.
