Charlotte and Rochester Unit by Unit
Going into the last game of the season, there are only two playoff spots remaining and three teams fighting for those spots; and one of those teams is the Rochester Rattlers. The team standing in their way is the Charlotte Hounds who won their game last week against the Hamilton Nationals.

MLL Future In California?
The MLL has tried venturing into California before, but the outcome was not so successful. The San Francisco Dragons and Los Angeles Riptide joined the league in 2006, but only lasted two seasons. That has many wondering if the league will ever return to the Golden State, especially as a part of their expansion plans in the coming years. Only four MLL franchises have ever straight up folded, and they…

MLL Week 14 Three Stars
This weekend was full of heart ache for some teams, but for others, they celebrated the life of their teams playoff hopes. The first star from this weekend is Peet Poillon.
