MISSOULA, MT - The Missoula PaddleHeads are once again preparing for postseason action as the team makes its return to the Pioneer Baseball League playoffs.

"First off, it's a huge blessing to be an organization that's been in the playoffs for five straight seasons. The consistency we've shown is a testament to the talent of our players and the dedication that ownership and the front office have to making this a first- class organization," said Schlact. "Winning at any level is tough, so we are incredibly humbled by the run of success we've had over these last several seasons."

The first round of the playoffs will be a best-of-three series -- played entirely in Missoula -- beginning next week.
