2020 North Side vs. South Side

<p>Since it’s baseball season and we don’t have baseball at the moment, why don’t we pick an all-star team of sorts? How about North Side vs. South Side. In theory, It’s the best of three-match series with the first game held at Loyola on a Saturday, Followed by a 1 pm start at UIC on Sunday. If it’s a tie, everyone takes the EL and heads over to Depaul for the rubber match at 7 pm. Now that the matches are in place, let’s pick the teams.
