Jersey Shore BlueClaws News Release


LAKEWOOD, N.J. - The BlueClaws are putting playoff tickets on sale in anticipation of the team playing in the postseason. Lakewood has never had a playoff team in its previous five years. The BlueClaws currently have a four game lead in the Northern Division of the South Atlantic League with just one month left in the regular season.

Tickets will be offered to BlueClaws Season Ticket Holders and VIPs beginning this Friday, August 4. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, August 18. Tickets will be sold in packs that include all four possible home games during the playoffs.

"We are thrilled to be talking about the team making the playoffs this year," said Geoff Brown, BlueClaws General Manager. "Our fans have already been asking us about tickets to playoff games so this seems like a perfect time to put them on sale."

If the BlueClaws win the Northern Division in the second half, they would play the Lexington Legends in a best-of-three game series beginning on Wednesday, September 7. The Legends would have home field advantage for winning the first half of the S.A.L. season and the final two games of the series would be played in Lexington.

The BlueClaws would then advance to play either the Rome Braves or the second half winner in the Southern Division. Currently, the Augusta GreenJackets are leading the South and have a seven game lead in the standings. Lakewood would have home field advantage for the best-of-five game Championship Series. The first two games would be played away from FirstEnergy Park. The BlueClaws would return for game three on Thursday, September 14. If necessary, games four and five would be played on September 15 and 16.
