Skeeters Could Clinch Play-off Berth Tonight

Sugar Land can clinch its third play-off berth in five years of existence with a victory over Southern Maryland tonight.  The game at Constellation Field is currently tied at 3 in the sixth inning.

With a win tonight(or Saturday or Sunday over the Blue Crabs), the Skeeters would clinch no worse than a tie with York in the Freedom Divsion's second half race.  Since York was the division's first half winner, a second half tie between Sugar Land and the Revolution would result in Sugar Land representing the division in the play-offs as its second half co-champion.

If Sugar Land makes the play-offs in any form or fashion, they will face York.  Sugar Land won their season series with York 12 games to eight.

The Skeeters CAN miss the play-offs; however, it would require a substantial number of things to go wrong for them:

Skeeters lose their last three games vs. Southern Maryland
York wins their last two games vs. Long Island
And
New Britain wins at least one of their last two games vs. Somerset
