IT IS PLAYOFF TIME WITH A GREAT PITCHING PAIRING WHEN BRIDGEPORT MEETS SOUTHERN MARYLAND

We tried to get everyone ready for the Atlantic League playoffs today with the Tuesday edition of the Atlantic League Notebook. Highlights included a marquee matchup in Waldorf, MD Wednesday night when Bridgeport's Esteban Yan opposes new league record-holder Dan Reichert (18 wins) of Southern Maryland. Somerset travels to York for the other series.

The Notebook also tracked another two million attendance year--down very slightly from '09--and traced some of the league's top statistical producers for the season.

IT WAS A RARE MOMENT FOR THE ATLANTIC LEAGUE

The playoff lineup is finally established in the Atlantic League (Bridgeport at Southern Maryland, Somerset at York),but much of our attention in Tuesday's Atlantic League Notebook was on a rare--and neat--major league happening when two former players from the Independent league went head to head from pitcher's mound to home plate. The Notebook has all the details in addition to two stories about Atlantic Leaguers trying to re-build major league careers, and some potentially crucial last-minute roster additions for the playoffs.
