THREE TEAMS, BUT ONLY ONE PLAYOFF SPOT

It continues to look like three teams have a realistic shot at the playoffs and the opportunity to join Long Island, Lancaster and (most likely) York in battling for the Atlantic League championship.

The second half Liberty Division standings would make it appear Camden is in the driver's seat because the RiverSharks are only two games (one in the loss column) behind Long Island, which won the first half and is in the lead once again.

But Camden really needs to win the second half because Bridgeport holds a seven-game lead over Von Hayes's club in the wild card race and Southern Maryland is just one game behind the Bluefish.

York has not officially qualified but even if Lancaster wins both halves in the Freedom Division the Revolution would have to lose their three-game bulge on Bridgeport and their four-game lead on Southern Maryland to miss out.

Stay tuned.
