Calgary wins series 4 games to 3.

Kaapstad went into the series with home field advantage throughout the American League playoffs with their impressive 107 regular season wins. The major question going into the series was could the Kricketers handle the strong short series starters of the Cold Sox.

The Calgary Cold Sox were no ordinary Wild Card team winng 96 games and just missing out on winning the competitive AL West. Their biggest weapon coming into the series was 22-1 with a 1.33 Era in the regular season. The Kricketers would have their work cut out for them.

The story of the series was the combination of some hot hitting by Bernie Williams, Glenallen Hill, and Bobby Higginson (went a combined .371 9 HRs 33 RBIs) along with the powerful Pedro for the Cold Sox, who went 2-0 1.39 Era and 20 K's.

Ellis Burks (.481 5 HR 11 RBIs) and Greg Colbrunn (.385 4 HR 7 RBIs) powered the Kricketers offense enough to force the series to 7 games. Rob Nen dissapointed out of the pen for Kaapstad giving up 6 earned runs in 4 appearances.

The series was exciting all the way through with no team having more than a 1 game lead in the series. The Sox took the final game of the series 10 to 5 in front of a shocked Kricketers sellout crowd. Calgary moves on to the next Rd for the first time in franchise history.
