Minor league update
The Frederick Keys still entertained playoff hopes until last night, when the Winston-Salem Warthogs bounced them from postseason consideration with a fairly resounding 12-4 victory at Grove Stadium and clinched a postseason berth for themselves. Brandon Tripp hit his 16th homer of the year for the Keys.
It wasn't a great night for the Norfolk Tides either. Andy Mitchell gave up four runs over 3 2/3 innings in a 7-2 loss to the Richmond Braves. Mike Costanzo and Chris Roberson had two hits each.
The Baysox were rained out last night in Harrisburg and will play a twi-night doubleheader today starting at 5:05 p.m.

I was at Commerce Bank Park in Harrisburg, PA last night. Although it rained substantially most of the day and afternoon they still wanted to get the game in so the playoffbound Baysox would not have to play a doubleheader a few days before going into the playoffs. Unfortunately the field was a mess and injury was a factor in calling the game. The Senators ballfield is on an Island next to the downtown area. It is very nice and kid friendly with trains, bridges, boat rides all in one area. The concession prices are lower than Maryland and the hotdogs are the best I have ever eatten. So if you get a chance go.

Why are they bothering to play the doubleheader? The playoffs are set with or without this game right? No draft order is at stake so why play it?
