Aurora Advance to Semi-Final
Trans-Oceanic Baseball Association fans were certainly not disappointed with this Trans-Oceanic Baseball Association Wildcard Playoff.

Iceland won the final game by a score of 5-3 at Stars Stadium and that sealed the series 2-1.

"Things were tense in our clubhouse and dugout before and during this game, but we can let loose a bit now -- the hard work is over, for now," said third baseman Huibert van Duren, who earned MVP honors.

For the series, van Duren hit .385 with a .429 on-base percentage. He had 0 home runs, 2 RBI and scored 0 runs.

The Semi-Final matchups and schedule will be announced after the Wildcard Playoff finishes.
