The playoffs begin on Wednesday for the Rivercats. Based on the last game of the season, I am not sure they are ready for them. Today's game was exciting but they finally lost it before an announced crowd of a bit more than 12,500. The first half of the game looked like the Grizzlies did not have their heart in it, although they leapt to the lead. But then Marshall had a lousy inning and the Cats were down five runs. It was windy so if the ball got above the stadium it had a good chance to fly out - none did. The crowd was a bit smaller than the last two nights.
The Cats begin their playoffs on Wednesday against the Salt Lake Bees - who started the season hot as blazes but have cooled in recent weeks. They play two at Raley and then the remaining three in Salt Lake. If they win three they then go on to the PCL championships and have the same routine - Wednesday, Thursday of the next week in Sacramento and then three at the away site. So the Cats have their work cut out for them. If they pull it together - they will do fine.
This has been a fun season, nonetheless.
