| Janesville Juggernauts @ Mexico City Chihuahuas | |
|---|---|
| Series Summary: | Mexico City takes 4/5 from Janesville. |
| Hampton Huskies @ Winnipeg Goldeyes |
|
|---|---|
| Series Preview: | Winnipeg missed the playoffs last year by a game and this team post expansion looks worse. So the goal will be to play .500 ball and go for it in 1995. Hampton has excellent pitching and will hope to win their division. |
| Game #1: | Benes long term Winnipeg ace was great through 7 and then allow some runs late but Beck closed the door in the 6-4 Winnipeg win. Tettleton homered for Hampton, Lofton for Winnipeg. |

| Game #4: | Martin goes 4 for 5 with 4 rbis as Hampton wins 7-2 |
| Game #5: | Martin 3 hits and 3 more rbis in this 7-5 Hampton win. |

| Game #1: | Maddux goes the distance allowing just 5 hits. Flossmore wins 2-1. W Maddux 1-0 L Mussina 0-1 |
| Game #2: | A 6 run 9th by Flossmore turns a 2-1 game to an 8-1 game. The Squirrels win 8-1. Cone has a complete game giving up 3 hits. W Cone 1-0 L Astacio 0-1 |

| Series Summary: | Let the Jeter lottery begin. Flossmore dominates. Hopefully when the Expos travel to Flossmore the team bus will break down. I wont name names but one of the Expos was actually crying in the dugout. |
