Springfield Wins Wildcard Series
Brian Kustra put the Springfield Lincolns on his shoulders as they downed the El Paso Express in the Wildcard Series.

Springfield won the deciding game by a 6-2 count at Springfield Stadium and wrapped up the series 3-1.

Kustra played a key role in the victory, as he was named series MVP for his offensive output, which included a .600 batting average with a .667 on-base percentage, 4 home runs, 8 RBI and 6 runs scored.

"I told myself it was time to step it up and help the team win and I'm glad I was able to do that," he said.

The Springfield Lincolns will play against the Salem Cherries in the next round. Salem had a bye in the Wildcard Series. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Wildcard Series finishes.
