We’re down to five days left- let’s take a look at the updated playoff race!
North | W | L | Pct. | GB | |
1 | Strasburg | 23 | 13 | 0.639 | |
2 | Woodstock | 21 | 16 | 0.568 | 2.5 |
3 | New Market | 17 | 21 | 0.447 | 7 |
Winchester | 17 | 21 | 0.447 | 7 | |
5 | Purcellville | 14 | 22 | 0.389 | 9 |
6 | Front Royal | 13 | 25 | 0.342 | 11 |
- Strasburg has clinched a top-two playoff spot. The squad has six games to play: Waynesboro, @Charlottesville, New Market, @Staunton, Front Royal, @Winchester. They added another half game to their lead last night.
- Woodstock has also clinched a playoff spot. Five games left: @Covington, @New Market, Winchester, @New Market, @Front Royal. Can the Bandits go last-to-first?
- New Market is now tied with Winchester, and is four and a half games back of #2 Woodstock. Five games left: Woodstock, @Strasburg, Woodstock, @Purcellville.
- Winchester pulled into a tie with New Market for the 3rd seed. Four games left: Harrisonburg, @Woodstock, @Purcellville, Strasburg. (If New Market and Winchester remain tied a couple more days, I’ll look at the tiebreakers)
- Purcellville can still catch the 3rd seed. Six games left: Staunton, @Covington, @Front Royal, Winchester, New Market (and a makeup with Staunton yet).
- Front Royal took a tough loss last night. The team is four games behind 3rd and 4th seeds with only four games left, which means one Front Royal loss, or a New Market AND Winchester win will eliminate the Cardinals. Games: @Charlottesville, Purcellville, @Strasburg, Woodstock.
