 <\/td>\nSaint Croix wins the series. Every team holds serve and wins. I played all 7 games, and all were close. Saint Croix had more offense on their team, but the Saints hung in there. Games 1, 2, and 5 were heart breakers at Saint Croix, as they come down to the final minute.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
