After sweeping the 1^st-round of the Midwest League playoffs, the Snappers went down to defeat on Saturday after scoring just 1 run in Game #1 of the Western Division Championship Series at Quad Cities. Starter Andres Avila allowed 2 runs, just 1 earned, on 6 hits over 4 2/3 innings to take the loss. Shortstop Sam Roberts made an error in the 1^st inning that helped lead to an unearned run for Quad Cities.
