MAKE UP GAMES TO DETERMINE PLAYOFF SCHEDULE
With the last of the make up games being played this week, one of the longest regular season's in recent history will come to a close. All three of these games will be a factor in determining the seeding for the upcoming playoffs, slated to begin on Friday, September 5.
On Wednesday, the teams currently tied for first place will battle for the Regular Season crown. PST, after an 11-0 start, stumbled through the month of July and comes into the game on the heals of being swept in a DH the last time they took the field. Healy Oil has been one of the hottest teams late in the season. Both teams will get a bye into the second round of the playoffs.
But first, the Tuesday night games feature the battle for the third seed. In the first game, the Mustangs are at Willis Tent. As last year's Cinderella team, Willis Tent has had a tough year and now finds itself in the role of spoiler. Because the Mustangs have the tie breaker against Drew Farms (3-1 advantage in head to head competition), Willis must win for Drews to have a chance to claim the third seed. Drews would then have to defeat Short Cut in the second game of the night.
The third seed will open the playoffs against Floral Arts in the first game on Friday the fifth, with the #4-#5 matchup following at 7:45. The schedule will be as follows:
FRIDAY (9/5)
6:30 Floral Arts @ #3 Seed
7:45 Short Cut @ #4 Seed
SUNDAY (9/7)
5:30 #4 Seed @ Short Cut
6:45 #3 Seed @ Floral Arts
TUESDAY (9/9) - IF NECESSARY
6:30 Floral Arts @ #3 Seed
7:45 Short Cut @ #4 Seed NOTE: If the #6-#3 series is over after 2 games, then this game will move to the 6:30 time slot.
The Second round will then begin on Wednesday, September 10. If both first round series are over after two games, then the second round will begin on Tuesday, the 9th.
This schedule will be posted to the calendar as soon as results are in after Tuesday night's games.
With play-off slots and seeding at stake, the games that were rained out on Friday, August 15, have been rescheduled. This will push the start of the play-offs back even further.
Tuesday (9/2)
6:30 Mustangs @ Willis Tent
7:45 Drew Farms @ Short Cut
Wednesday (9/3)
6:30 Healy Oil @ PST
The first round of play-off games are now scheduled to begin on Friday, September 5.
Due to the latest deluge, all three Friday night games have been postponed. Make-up date(s) are still to be determined.
The make up date for the August 8th schedule will be Sunday, August 24th.
5:30 Short Cut - PST

8:00 Mustangs - Drew Farms
In addition, the games rained out on August 6th have been rescheduled for Tuesday, August 26th.

Barring any further interference from Mother Nature, the first round of the playoffs will now be held on Wednesday (8/27), Tuesday (9/2), and Wednesday (9/3) if necessary. The second round will begin on Friday, 9/5. This date will be moved forward to September 3rd if both first round series go 2 games.
Weather continued to wreak havoc with the 2008 schedule as intermittent downpours and a flooded infield have caused the postponement of a full slate of games on Friday night. The make up date for the August 8th schedule will be Sunday, August 24th.
5:30 Short Cut - PST
6:45 Willis Tent - Healy Oil
8:00 Mustangs - Drew Farms
In addition, the games rained out on August 6th have tentatively been rescheduled for Tuesday, August 26th. The actual times and dates will be posted as soon as they are confirmed.
