1-Omaha vs 4-Sioux City

The first of the playoff games kicks off tonight as the Sioux City Musketeers travel south to take on the top seeded and Anderson Cup champion Omaha Lancers. In their last meeting this past Friday, Omaha blasted Sioux City 7-1. Hopefully that game isn't a preview of this series, because this series could be a dandy with these two long time rivals squaring off.
