Down to one

The Cats won last night and Tucson lost - that moves the magic number to 1. We are five games up with five games to go but were the Sidewinders to win all of their remaining games and us lose them all - they would go to the playoffs because of a better inter team record. Komine did good job through seven and we added runs in three consecutive innings. (With an insurance run near the end.) The big news from the evening came from Tucson - where the Sky Sox went up big early only to have the game tied and go into extra innings. Fortunately the Sox came back in the 10th to win it.

So here is where we are - Salt Lake has clinched their division - so if we win the Southern division we will face them in the first round of the playoffs. It is unclear who will emerge to face Nashville in the other division.

I did not get to go to the next to the last home game because I am in LA preparing for my daughter's wedding on Saturday. So I kept logging into both websites (the Sidewinders and the Cats) to keep up with the game while at dinner. Ah, the wonders of technology!
