Traders Advance to League Championship Series
While it wasn't a complete mismatch, the Chicago Traders showed themselves to be the superior team in the Divisional Round, downing the Cleveland Bobcats 4-2.

"Nothing is ever easy in the Major League Baseball playoffs. Whether you're a favorite or an underdog, you can't take anyone lightly or you'll get burned," said Fran Precourt, who was named series MVP after a standout offensive performance.

Chicago won the final game by a 6-3 count at Lakefront Stadium to clinch its spot in the next round.

They will hope to once again rely on Precourt there, as he hit .409 with 2 home runs, 7 RBI 4 runs scored during the series.

The Chicago Traders will play against the San Diego Captains in the next round. San Diego won their series against the Denver Burros 4 games to 1. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Divisional Round finishes.
