MINYvSFU preview: Into the must-win zone with a quest to repeat 2023 heroics
By MI New York Media
Oh it’s tantalizingly poised. While Washington Freedom, who are still to lose a game this season, have comfortably qualified for the playoffs with a couple of games left, the other three slots still have five contenders, with each of the five having a proper chance of making it through.
So it’s simple. Two league games remain. We kind of need to win them both to sail through into the playoffs comfortably. Winning one by a big margin could be enough too, but we’d skip that option. This is exactly the position MI New York were in the 2023 MLC season, before the dream run began. The San Francisco Unicorns are up next, who are in a slightly more comfortable position compared to ours. As our Head Coach Robbie Peterson said after the loss to Freedom in the previous game, “It is all about showing character and personal responsibility now”. That’s right, it’s time to step up.
What: MI New York vs San Francisco Unicorns
When: July 18, 7:30pm local | July 19, 6:00am IST
Where: Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas
What to expect: Another pitch the seamers will love, and a contest where the true MINY spirit will come to the fore. Remember, we are yet to beat the Unicorns in an MLC game, and what better occasion than one that could help us put a foot in the playoff door!
