Jersey and Cleveland Win Playoff Series

The Jersey Shore stunned the heavily favored Texas Outlaws four games to one in the opening round of the playoffs. The Outlaws dominated the regular season and won 25 more games than the Shore. 

In the other opening-round series, the Cleveland Baergas knocked off the Grandview Griffs four games to one to advance.
