A fine end to the regular season


The Rivercats finished strong. They won 7 of their last eight games (3 against Colorado and then they Swept the Sidewinders in Tucson). SInce I was at my daughter's wedding, I missed the last two home games and so had to keep up with the team on the road (not that I am complaining). The Salt Lake Bees lost their last two games and were 4-6 for their last 10. Their last game was against the bottom hugging Las Vegas 51s - where they lost 12-5.

The surprise of the division was Fresno - who finished second, one up on Tucson but higher than I think they have ever achieved.

We had the second best record in the league with 84 wins (.583) - half of those were at home (which means we had an identical record at home and away). Salt Lake was much stronger at home (winning 43 of their 74 games at home). The other division pits Nashville against New Orleans.

It is on to the playoffs - our first home game is on Friday. The first two games are in Salt Lake. The division and league championship series are each five game series.
