Should be a good game. Surprised at the number of those early 2000 teams that are winning.

[Providence A's]

Yea, I thought one would have lost in the first round. One played 1988 and the other played 1990, but they beat them both (one in 6 games, the other in 7). I think the #2 seed will win here. 1929 was an awesome team.

2001 wins game 2 by a score of 4 - 2. Mark Mulder was the player of the game with a CG 5 hitter giving up only 2 earned runs.
