The 25th ranked offense is facing the 6th ranked defense, This is going to be a pretty tough series to call when the power of Richmond is very obvious. Richmond has the 3rd most powerful offense in the league hitting a team total 252 home runs about 70 off what they hit in season 16 but still powerful. Boston on the other hand has Tim Miadich and Ricardo Sosa pitching very well, Miadich had a rough season but he can come out and pitch the lights out in this series. Jolbert Guillen produced offensively after a mid-season meltdown.
Boston wins 3-1

One of the most dominant pitching teams in Omaha is also one of the worst hitting teams in the world. This appears to be another hard prediction. It's been seven seasons since Omaha even looked like a playoff team, finally they are back! Roy Latham appears to be one of the few bright spots on the offense but their pitching has many. Veteran J.P. Sanchez produced this season as well as the bullpen led by Charley Mayberry. It is very odd to see Cincy with the 11th best offense with the weapons they have in Ward, McBride and Zubaran. Cincy has a lot of Doubleday household names on the mound with Hoss Collins, Pedro Bennett and Steve Hollandsworth. They all had respectable seasons considering their ages. If the offense produces it can be close but I think the team that is young will take this one.
Omaha wins 3-2
