Kalamazoo Growlers News Release
Kalamazoo, Mich. - Just three days remain in the Northwoods League regular season, and the postseason fight is alive and well in the Great Lakes East.
Looking for the second and final spot in the Great Lakes East Championship series, the Kalamazoo Growlers (39-29, 21-12) and Traverse City Pit Spitters (38-31, 21-13) sit just a half a game apart in the second half standings.
Kalamazoo is looking for its third straight postseason birth and fifth appearance in franchise history while the Pit Spitters have made the playoffs all four years they have been in the league.
No matter the outcome of the final three days, the team that clinches the second-half title will host a home playoff game on Sunday, Aug. 11 against the first-half champion Rockford Rivets. Times still to be determined.
