Lillard: "After a mix-up in scheduling in which we only broadcast after IBS double-headers, we're back with Wolfpack Postgame Live! My name is Rebecca Lillard, I'm joined by Rafael Ramos and Thomas Figueroa, and the Wolfpack once again split a double-header, once again beating the tough Gregoryisgodistan Bat Slaves by one and once again losing to the Eduardastan Narwhals by two."
Figueroa: "In the first game, Casey Marshall was dominant, allowing 2 runs in 7 innings on 6 hits, one walk, and one hit-batsman. The offense scored four in the first which turned out to be all they needed."
Ramos: "In the second game, our Wolfpack fought hard, and Allen Marsh came out after allowing 3 runs through 6 innings and he was in-line for the win. But the bullpen gave up 3 and we took a heartbreaking extra-inning loss. If we would have won the second game, we would have taken first place in the division and a more favorable seed. But instead, we took second, still qualifying, but getting a 5 seed."
RL: "Thanks men, now we'll-"
TF: "Switch it up a bit! Rafa and I will do the highlights. I'll take the first game and you take the second, is that alright, Rafa?"
RR: "Sure, fine with me."
TF: "Alright. First inning, after a Katsu double, a Campos single, and a Martinez walk, Andre Harding steps up against Gregoryisgodistan's pitcher, Soldier Usual So."
RL: "Uh, I think you mean Soldier USU-"
TF: "I got this, Rebecca! So, Usual So pitches to-"
RL: "Again, I think you meant Soldier U-"
TF: "Rebecca! I'm doing this right! Stop butting in! Don't you trust me? Anyway, as I was saying, Usual So pitches it to Andre Harding, and gets the count to 1-2. Then, he makes a mistake and pitches a fastball right down the middle. Harding takes advantage of it and pounds it deep to left for a grand slam. 4-0 Wolfpack.
"Then, in the third, Military General Rufus McGee puts a charge in to one against Casey Marshall, and it clears the right-field fence for a home run. 4-1 Wolfpack.
"Then, with Soldier J Sia Isk S on first and two outs, Lumberjack J Sue Si 99387 hits a ball into left field. It rattles around in the corner and J Sia Isk S scores. J Sue Si 99387 tries to stretch it into a triple but is gunned down by Andre Harding. 4-2 Wolfpack.
RL: "I'm pretty sure it's Soldier JSIA-"
TF: "Rebecca! Didn't I tell you to stop?
*Rebecca leaves the room*
TF: "Finally! She's gone! Anyway, we fast-forward into the ninth inning, where Lumberjack J Sue Si 99387 and Military General Rupert McGee are on third and second, respectively, with Military General Rufus McGee at the plate with two outs. Closer Gabe Hansen on the bump. Rufus hits a single into center, and Rupert scores. J Sue Si is rounding third and Katsu comes up throwing. The throw just barely beats J Sue Si and Stanton applies the tag and the Wolfpack wins it, 4-3."
RR: "And now, the Eduardastan game.
"Allen Marsh on the bump for the Wolfpack, and on his first pitch, he serves up a home run to the shortstop. 1-0 Narwhals.
"Later in the inning, men on second and third for the Narwhals, and the left fielder hits a ball off the wall, which scores two runs. However, their left fielder is slow and was thrown out on his way to second base to end the inning. 3-0 Narwhals, and all hope seems lost."
"With the bases loaded and one out, Katsunori Matsuoka bunts the ball. The catcher picks it up and attempts to tag Stanton coming home, but he slides with such force that the ball is knocked out of the catcher's glove. It rolls about 6 feet, allowing Stanton to score. Cabrera has rounded third a little too much for the catcher's comfort, so he throws to the third baseman, but of course, airmails it into left field. Cabrera scores, Richardson scores, and the catcher can't catch the throw home from the left fielder, allowing Matsuoka to score. An odd scoring on the play, E2, E2, E2, which could've all been avoided if the catcher had just stepped on the plate. 4-3 Wolfpack.
"In the ninth, Hansen on the mound, looking for his second save of the day. 1-2, two outs on the shortstop, nobody on base. But he hits a home run over the left field fence, tying the game."
"Hansen would stay on in the tenth. He would walk the first batter and then the first baseman would come to the plate. He put a charge into it and it left the yard. 6-4 Narwhals is your final.
"That's our show, tune in next time to see if Rebecca ever comes back!"

"Well, that was a fun meeting."
"There was a meeting?"
"Yeah, it wasn't for you though. It was a meeting between me and our scouting teams."
"Oh. And that was fun?"
"Oh yeah! You should've been there. There was a DJ, and cake, and a dance floor, and it was a great time."
"And this was a meeting?"
"Well, technically it was an after-meeting."
"Why don't we ever have after-meetings?"
"Uh... it was... uh... the scouting team's idea! Yeah, that's it!"
"And you payed for it?"
"Uh... of course not! The scouting team did!"
"Oh, alrighty then. That seems perfectly normal."
"It was, it was."
"Ok. So why did you have this meeting?"
"To get the lowdown on the playoffs, of course! We took half the scouting team with us to Super-Llamaland and we left half back home so that we could scout all the teams and be prepared for the playoffs."
"Wow! That's a smart idea!"
"Thanks."
"So what did you find out?"
"Well, we got specific things about Red Star Union's team that will help us beat them in this series, hands down. But we also got their predictions for the playoffs!"
"Really? What were they?"
"Let's see... The Super-Llamaland Tigers and Nova Anglicana would play a tough series, as they went 1-1 in group play against each other. They went with the underdog Nova Anglicana pulling it off in a hotly contested series."
"Hmm... interesting. I wouldn't have picked that. What else?"
"They said that the Bat Slaves from Gregoryisgodistan have been dominant, and they expect them to sweep the Dohickeys of Levivania."
"No surprise there."
"The Sova Empire's intelligent emotions are expected to sweep the fireballs of Smoya."
"Surprise, surprise."
"And our Wolfpack will take down the Red Demons in three games."
"Alrighty. What will our rotation look like?"
"We're picking up where we left off. Jacobson is starting game one."
"Even with the days of rest?"
"Absolutely."
"Alright. We better win this."
"Agreed."
"Come on you Wolfpack!"
"LET'S GO NEW WOLFOPOLIS!"
