| Class A Fan, how about a little rationale behind your picks. please share your great baseball mind with the rest of us )
I will take the Pubs over the Bombers in 3. Bombers will give Pubs all they can handle as they are really hot right now. They are really hitting the ball. Shelby and Ginther are a good pitching duo and I believe the Pubs did lose to the Bombers in the final week of the season, granted I don't know what lineups were rolled out. Schildgren is one of the best short stops in the league/state, and the Pubs timely hitting will win it in 3. They always seem to get that big hit when they need it. Pubs in 3.
The Angels and the Homies is a great matchup, maybe the best one here. Both these two teams have gone to state in the last several years with the Homies winning it recently. Homies play very solid baseball. Everyone knows the Angels story from last year. Did they get lucky or are they just a very clutch ball team? I call 3 game series, extra innings Angels win. Angels in 3.
The Lakers and the Cobras. Cobras have a strong left side of the infield and a great left handed pitcher. If Cobras can win the first game, it is likely they win in 2 with the lefty throwing that game. The Lakers are a confidence team. If the Cobras let them have a chance they will take it. Could really go any way but I like the Cobras. Cobras in 2.

| My rationale is based on what ive seen this season and from my gut, but i will give these theories along with the scores for fun.
Lyons Pub has been the best team in the Park National all season. They have the best staff with depth and above average line-up. The Bombers are no joke and can get under your skin with there scrappy play. Bombers also have 3 legit starters who can keep them in the game. A little to inconsistent though during the season to pull off the upset in a 3 game series. Pub advances in 3 as the #1 seed
Game 1 Pub 8 Bombers 4
Game 2 Bombers 7 Pub 6
Game 3 Pub 11 Bombers 3
Wesley Homes vs Angels should be a great series and is a toss up. Both teams have proven veterans who know how to play the game and get to the next level. I say there hitting is above average but equals out. Defensive edge goes to Wesley. Neither team has that great of pitching, but with Blanck pitching for Wesley i see that being the deciding factor in game 3. Should be fun to see how this one turns out.
Game 1 Wesley 8 Angels 6
Game 2 Angels 10 Wesley 5
Game 3 Wesley 6 Angels 4
Cobras have gotten better as the season has went on and rarely have there full line-up together during the season. The lefty Germar should be able to throw by game 2 and is crafty. HItting edge Cobras, yet Lakers like the Bombers are scrappy and can score in bunches. Pitching depth and quality arms easily goes to the Cobras and just see the Cobras lighting up the Lakers staff. Too many weapons and i dont see this being much of a series
Game 1 Cobras 6 Lakers 5
Game 2 Cobras 9 Lakers 3
