#7 (Page 30) -- 1997 Topps #266 Eric Owens (17 votes)

Because the Alvarado region has been nuts so far, it makes sense that one of these battles would end in a tie.

The other three matchups went about as expected (and thus gain entry into the Sweet 16), but, as you can see, Pettis vs. Patek ended in a deadlock, 19 votes a piece. As is the usual tie-breaking procedure, I ask those who care to comment on this post to leave their choice between Pettis and Patek. The first card to receive three of these tie-breaking votes will move on to the next round.

I'll update this post once we have a winner.

EDIT: Pettis wins!

And so we turn back to the Bevacqua Region, whose namesake needs no explanation.
