Playboys Dominate, Sweep Wild Card
On paper, the Rockford Playboys will be credited with a 2-0 sweep of the Auburn Venom in the Wild Card, to advance to the Divisional Series.

In reality, said starting pitcher Joel Major, it was a lot harder-fought than that might suggest.

"They are a great team and although we won every game, it wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination," he said.

Rockford won the final game by a 4-0 score at Sluggers Stadium.

Major earned series MVP honors for the Playboys, with a 0.00 ERA over 9 innings pitched. He also had a 1-0 record and 6 strikeouts.

The Divisional Series matchups and schedule will be announced after the Wild Card finishes.
