With Battle Creek’s 3-1 victory over the Madison Mallards last night, the 2011 Northwoods League playoff picture is set.
Starting Monday, Battle Creek will travel to Green Bay to face the Bullfrogs in game one of the first round, and will return to C.O. Brown Stadium for games two and three (if necessary).In the North, the Mankato Moondogs and Alexandria Beetles clinched their spots recently. If the Beetles go on to beat the Moondogs, Alexandria would have homefield advantage against the Bombers. As of tonight’s game, however, Battle Creek is a ½ game on top of Mankato in the overall standings. If BC wins, they would have homefield over Mankato, but if the Bomb Squad loses tonight and Mankato wins, they would play on the road against both Northern Division teams.
