For the most part, there weren't many surprises in the divisional round of the MLB playoffs.

Victims of ‘Ville

Bloomsburg pitching finally comes around, but is accompanied by lack of hitting in three losses

For the first month of the baseball season, clutch hitting throughout their lineup has kept the Bloomsburg Huskies afloat.
