PVBL: Mississauga Maple Dogs
Mississauga Hanging On
September 30, 1999

3 games out, 4 games left...

Owner Jesse Gouldson left for a ski trip right at the most crucial time for his PVBL team, the Mississauga Maple Dogs. "I had the trip booked for months now. I had a great time but I just couldn't stop thinking about the (EL Wildcard) race.", Gouldson said.

Mississauga is now 3 games out of the wildcard with a 4 games series left against division rival Tucson. "We aren't going to take them lightly.", Reggie Jefferson said. "They were the favourites for the division, but Motor City always seems to pull through.", he added.

Wild Card leading Ann Arbor has a 4 game series left with Anchorage while New Diggens has a 4 game set with Motor City. "All we know..." SS Nomar Garciaparra said, "Is that we're gonna play our hearts out these last few games. He aren't out of it yet."

Deadwood continues to hype it's offense as the league's best but Gouldson believes his lineup is the league's best. "Nilsson would make it unstoppable, but we'll have to wait till next year." Gouldson said about this lineup.
