"This whole season has been a thrilling one to watch with great come-from-behind wins and the Fourth of July no-hitter by pitcher Kyle Drabek. The Fisher Cats hope to carry this winning spirit into the post-season."

The 2010 Eastern League Playoffs consist of two rounds. The first and second place teams from the Eastern Division will play each other in a best-of-five series for the Eastern Division Championship.
