With two days and seemingly countless games remaining on the schedule, let’s take a look at the playoff chase through Thursday night. (The games aren’t countless, of course; it just seems like it.)
North | W | L | PCT | GB |
Purcellville | 23 | 15 | 0.605 | |
Front Royal | 22 | 16 | 0.579 | 1 |
New Market | 21 | 17 | 0.553 | 2 |
Winchester | 19 | 20 | 0.487 | 4.5 |
Strasburg | 16 | 22 | 0.421 | 7 |
Woodstock | 5 | 34 | 0.128 | 18.5 |
The North has been hit the hardest with the rainouts. With only 2 days left, all teams have 3 or 4 games left to play. Woodstock is eliminated, Strasburg is on the edge of elimination, but first place is up for grabs with three teams within 2 games. Much, much more will be clear after today’s games, since New Market and Purcellville play 3 games apiece, and Front Royal plays 2. (Front Royal plays 2 on Saturday as well.)
South | W | L | PCT | GB |
Covington | 25 | 15 | 0.625 | |
Charlottesville | 24 | 16 | 0.600 | 1 |
Waynesboro | 22 | 18 | 0.550 | 3 |
Staunton | 19 | 21 | 0.475 | 6 |
Harrisonburg | 19 | 21 | 0.475 | 6 |
Two big questions here: will the Jacks hold off the Tom Sox for the first seed, and, of course, who will make the playoffs between the Turks and the Braves. They play tonight is a hugely crucial game! Waynesboro can catch the Tom Sox, but can not catch Covington, so the Jacks have clinched a top two seed.
Much more coming tomorrow morning!
