Tucson Toros Attempt To Clinch Division Tonight

Tucson Toros News Release


Tucson, AZ - The Toros are on the verge of winning the GBL Southern Division second half title and could lock up a playoff spot as early as tonight. Tucson actually has a couple of ways to make the postseason, but the simplest way for Tucson to advance to postseason play would be to win the division. To do that Tucson needs to win 1 of their last 3 remaining games. The other option would be for St. George to win the Division in the second half (after already winning it in the first half) with Tucson having the second best overall record for the season. Tucson would be battling Long Beach in that scenario. If Tucson went winless for the rest of the year then they would need Long Beach to lose 2 times.

If one of these scenarios comes through and the Toros make the playoffs, they would take on St. George for a best of five game series beginning Wednesday, September 2nd and Thursday, September 3rd in George. The series would then return to Tucson for game 3 at Hi-Corbett Field on Friday, September 4th at 7:00 p.m. If games 4 and 5 are necessary they would take place Saturday and Sunday. The winner of the Southern Divisional Series would advance to face the winner of the GBL Northern Divisional Series for another best of five series. Both Calgary and Edmonton have already locked up playoff spots in the north.

The Toros will take on St. George tonight at 7:00 p.m. at Hi Corbett Field for the second game of a four game series to wrap up the regular season.
