Pirates, Dodgers secure top 3 seeds with Thursday victories

Cashtown defeated Gettysburg 10-0, and Littlestown defeated Brushtown 10-4 Thursday night in a pair of SPL makeup games. The wins mean that Cashtown and Littlestown will be the number 2 and 3 seeds in the upcoming SPL playoffs, with the exact order to be determined this weekend. The Dodgers control their own fate, as a pair of wins in their final two games (or a win and a Cashtown loss) will give the Dodgers the number 2 seed.

Biglerville defeated North Carroll 7-6 Thursday in another makeup game, with Travis Byers delivering a 2-run walkoff single for the victorious Black Sox.  Biglerville is locked in as the six seed and will take on either Cashtown or Littlestown in round one of the playoffs. North Carroll and Gettysburg will be the number 7 and 8 seeds, with the order not yet decided.

Hanover and Brushtown will be the number 4 and 5 seeds and will play each other in the SPL playoffs opening round. Both teams have identical records with 3 games left to play, the results of which will determine who gets the number 4 seed and home field advantage.
