Kane County Cougars News Release
GENEVA, Ill. - The Kane County Cougars, minor league affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, have clinched a spot in the 2019 Midwest League Playoffs following an 8-4 victory over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Thursday night. This is the third post-season bid for the Cougars in the last five seasons that they have been teamed up with the Diamondbacks.

All tickets, box and reserved, will be sold for $10 with StrikeZone tables behind home plate available for $79. In addition, parking for both the preferred and general lots will be $10.
A potential first-round playoff schedule is below:
Wednesday, September 4 at 6:30 PM (if wildcard)
Thursday, September 5 at 6:30 PM (if division champion)
Friday, September 6 at 6:30 PM (if division champion and series goes three games)
Playoff tickets will be available online at www.kccougars.com and over the phone by calling the box office at 630-232-8811.
The Cougars look to bring home their first Midwest League Championship since 2014 and their third league championship in franchise history.
