The Battle Of Southern California began Friday as the Sharkz and Tigers began their best of seven series. The Tigers finished with the best record in the league, but limped into the post-season losing their last six games of the year. In game one, the Tigers took a 4-2 lead into the top of the ninth, but Craig Kimbrel completely imploded, walking four batters and allowing two hits which allowed the Sharkz to tie the game at 4.
The game remained deadlocked until Bobby Witt Jr. walked it off in the bottom of the 15'th win a solo shot.
Meanwhile in Columbus, the Outlaws and T-Bones started their series. The Outlaws got off to a 1-0 lead on a Luis Roberts RBI double and Zac Gallen made that one run enough fanning 12 in eight shutout innings in a 1-0 win for Ohio.

Needing a win or New York Knight loss to clinch, the Nanooks failed to secure their own destiny dropping a 3-0 contest to Kansas City. All eyes then turned to New York, where the Knights where hosting the Sharkz on the final regular season day.
Needing a win to force a three-game playoff, the Knights fell behind early following a two-run blast in the first and never really recovered after that giving up six more runs in an 8-2 loss.
The playoffs will commence on Monday where the Sharkz and Nanooks will face off in a best of five wild card round, with the winner advancing to face the Tigers. Ohio and Kansas City will square off in the other first round series following the conclusion of the wild card round.

With one game left in the regular season, the Nanooks won, which meant New York had to win or face elimination. With the Knights down and almost out, they came up with a five-run eighth inning which temporarily salvaged their season and kept them a game behind.
A Vancouver win, will eliminate the Knights.....but a Vancouver loss, coupled with a New York win over Redondo Beach would create a nightmare scenario for the league, with three teams tied for the final wild card spot.
