Blogger back up; Mid-Penn play-in info

Blogger was down the last couple days, hence the lack of posts.

That's the second time the site has been down during baseball season, which is the time of year this blog generates its most hits.

Anyway, how confused are you about this Mid-Penn tiebreaker?

The waters got a littler more clear yesterday afternoon when Susquenita decided to pull out of the Capital Division playoff. The Blackhawks shared the division title with West Perry and Trinity but decided they weren't going to participate in the three-team playoff to determine which team advances to Monday's Mid-Penn Tournament at Northern.

The Mid-Penn was prepared to give West Perry a bye due to the Mustangs owning the best District 3 power rating out of the three teams. That would have meant Trinity and Susquenita would have played each other today with the winner playing at West Perry on Saturday to decide which team advances to meet Commonwealth champion Cumberland Valley in the MPT.

Instead, Susquenita pulled out and, after dispatching Boiling Springs, 11-0, in five innings Thursday, Trinity coach Al Hobby said his Shamrocks were prepared to participate in the Mid-Penn postseason.

So, it's Trinity at West Perry on Saturday at noon in a one-game Mid-Penn Capital Division playoff.

That wasn't so hard to understand, was it?
