New Regimes:
Holding the title of returning champion isn't the only thing the Aces and 'Pack have in common, either. Both teams reassigned their captaincy this offseason. Austin Bischoff has retaken the leadership role for the Aces after sitting out the 2015 season. Meanwhile, Greg Brannan takes the reins of the Wolfpack from his brother, Mark Brannan, in what will be his first foray as a WSEM team captain.
History is One-Sided:
Greg's first test with his team will be a big one. The Aces have thoroughly dominated the head-to-head series with the Wolfpack, going 6-0 over two seasons of play while outscoring the Wolfpack 65-5 in those games. In fact, the Austin-led Aces did not surrender a single run to the Wolfpack in 2014.
Last Opening:
Opening Weekend 2015 saw shaky starts by both teams. Wolfpack pitching struggled with their control and lost two games to the Islanders by a combined 15 runs. The Aces fared better overall, splitting their set with the Squirrels, but were on the wrong end of a perfect game in the first contest of the year.
