2005 (lose 4-3 to Sylmar) - The first time in the playoffs from the Ozzie League would not provide any better luck for the franchise as the CyberSox would lose in seven games.

Even though they finished with identical 91-59 records, the Sylmar Padawans were awarded the Griffin Division title due to having a better head-to-head season record (10-6). That race was decided on the last game of the season.

After dropping the opening two games to Sylmar, the 'Sox rallied to take the next three at home. However, the 'Sox were blown out of of Game 6, setting up a eerily-appropriate Game 7 between the two evenly matched team.

The 'Sox rallied back from a 3-0 deficit to tie it, but the Padawans managed to push a run across in the 8th to advance.

2002 (lose 4-3 to New York) - The final season in Phoenix saw the Predators stock up for one last run at a title. The Predators were set up for one thing and one thing only, to win in 2002. They did just that as they went 36-16 in the final two months to secure the Eck League Wild Card with a 99-61 record, setting up a match up against the New York Knights (now the Nashville Funkadelic) winners of the Person Division at 100-60.

Phoenix took the opener on the road as they shutout New York, 2-0, behind seven strong innings from Freddy Garcia. New York went on to win the next two games, including Game 3 in Phoenix to re-take home-field advantage.

Phoenix blew away the Knights in Game 4, 20-2, but dropped Game 5, which gave New York two shots at home to take the series. The Knights did just that, but needed Game 7 to do it.

2000 (lose 3-1 to Chicago) - The Predators finished the season at 86-74, but had to play Game #161 to get in the playoffs, beating the Cleveland Rocks in that one-game playoff. Their reward? A 5-game series with the cream of the Eck League, the Chicago Black Sox, winners of the Hrbek Division and a league-best 106-54 record.

The Black Sox blew out Phoenix taking the first two games in Chicago by a combined score of 17-6. Phoenix wins Game 3, 4-2, to provide some hope, but Chicago quickly closes it out with a 8-4 victory in Game 4.
