CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS PREVIEW

AAA ROUND ROCK - LCS starts Tuesday 9-10

The Round Rock Express won out over the Iowa Cubs on Sunday three games to two to take the Pacific Coast League American Conference title and will advance to the best-of-five League Championship Series which starts on Tuesday. They will face the Sacramento River Cats in Sacramento for two games (Tuesday and Wednesday) before returning to Round Rock on Friday for three games over the weekend (if all are necessary).

Sacramento (73-67 in the regular season) won out over the Las Vegas Aviators three games to two, clinching the PCL Pacific Conference title on Sunday. Round Rock (84-56 in the regular season) has only played Sacramento four times this season. In early August, Round Rock won the series three games to one.

The winner of the Pacific Coast League LCS will face the International League Champions in a one game winner-take-all AAA Championship game which will take place on Tuesday, September 17th in Memphis.

HIGH A FAYETTEVILLE WOODPECKERS - LCS starts Tuesday 9-10

The Fayetteville Woodpeckers bested the Down East Wood Ducks three games to two to win the Carolina League Southern Division title on Sunday, earning them a ticket to the Carolina League Championship Series. They will head to Wilmington Tuesday and Wednesday to face the Blue Rocks in a best-of-five LCS. (The Blue Rocks won the Carolina League Northern Division in dramatic fashion on Sunday, coming back to win the final three games after digging an 0-2 hole vs. the Salem Red Sox to start the series.) The LCS will return to Fayetteville on Thursday and will continue on Friday and Saturday if those games are necessary.

Wilmington (82-56 in the regular season) owns the regular season series again Fayetteville (72-67 in the regular season), having won eight of 14 against the Woodpeckers; however, the two teams are tied 3-3 in their final two matchups during the season and Fayetteville has the better record over the second half of the season.

LOW A QUAD CITIES RIVER BANDITS - Eliminated in the Quarterfinals

The Banditos unfortunately did not survive the quarterfinals, succumbing to the Cedar Rapids two games to one in that best-of-three series.
