1st Round Playoff Results- Season 8

Round 1 is complete, and we're on to round 2.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Salt Lake City lost game 1 to the Trenton Traffic, but won the next 3 to take the series. They move on to take on Atlanta. This is a classic offense/pitching matchup. I think the pitching holds up and Atlanta should move on.

In the other half of the bracket, Washington took down Philadelphia in three straight to advance and play Austin. I like Austin's balance, although Washington's pitching makes them a tough out against any team they face.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Helena continues Louisville's playoff frustration by taking the Legends out in four games. They'll advance to face top seed St. Louis, who I think is just too talented for the Grotto Gottos.

Monterrey ruined Boise's first ever playoff appearance, needing just 3 games to dispatch Barry McEnroe and company. They'll move on to face the second seeded Seattle Killer Whales, who I think should be able to handle the Sultans.
