PLAYOFF UPDATE: The Cougars' 2010 season came to a close Monday night in eastern Iowa as the team fell to the Clinton LumberKings in a decisive Game 3 of the Western Division Championship series. Clinton earns the right to play for the Midwest League Championship, their first appearance in an LCS since 1993.

The Cougars advanced to the divisional championship round by defeating the Quad Cities River Bandits in a three-game series to open the postseason last week.

The playoff appearance was the Cougars' sixth in eight years as an A's affiliate, and the furthest the club had advanced in a postseason since the '06 Cougars squad.
