Visalia Rawhide News Release
As First Half Northern Division Champions, the Rawhide have clinched a playoff berth (and a First Round bye) in the 2015 California League Playoffs.
The Rawhide are assured of hosting at least 2 home playoff games in the Division Finals (the league's semi-final round) on Saturday and Sunday, September 12th and 13th. Game 1 will begin at 7:00, and Game 2 will start at 6:00.
Both the Division Finals and the League Finals are best-of-5 series.
Should the Division Finals reach a decisive 5th game, the Rawhide are on course to host Game 5, since their magic number to clinch the best overall record in the North is currently at 6 with 18 regular season games to play. Game 5 would be played on Wednesday, September 16th, tentatively at 6:00.
If the 'Hide reach the League Finals, they would play on the road at the South Division champion for Games 1 & 2, and would then host Games 3, 4, and 5 (if necessary) at Rawhide Ballpark on Saturday-Monday, September 19-21. Game 3 is tentatively slated for a 7:00 start, with Games 4 & 5 beginning at 6:00 (subject to change).
