Minor League Report. Tampa loses Game 1 of Playoff Series.

AAA: SWB (68-49) was off. Their regular season is over.

A 2021 Regular Season Champion will be crowned in both the Triple-A East and the Triple-A West based on highest overall winning percentage through the originally scheduled championship season.
Additionally, among all 30 clubs, a single 2021 Triple-A Final Stretch Winner will be crowned across both leagues based on highest overall winning percentage during a 10-game schedule immediately following the originally scheduled championship season.

In the regular season, SWB was sixth, 7 1/2 games back of the team with the best record. That Final stretch part begins tonight.

Funky, I know.

AA: Somerset’s season is over. At 72-47, they won their division, but only two teams are making the playoffs, and it is by winning percentage. Somerset finished 1/2 game behind the second-place team in the other division, and is out of the playoffs.

High A: Hudson Valley at 71-49 won their division, but like Somerset, is out of the playoffs because their record was behind the record of the second place team in the other division by three games.

Low A: Tampa lost Game 1 of the best-of-five championship series for their league, 4-3 last night, giving up two runs in the bottom of the ninth. They were one out away from a win, and the winning run scored on a bases-loaded walk.
