The Fayetteville SwampDogs (32-22) clinched a first-round home playoff game this coming Tuesday thanks to an assist from mother nature as their game against the Florence RedWolves (23-29) was canceled due to severe weather, while the Wilmington Sharks fell in Wilson against the Tobs 9-5. The SwampDogs are now assured a top two finish in the East Division ensuring the Swamp will host a playoff game on Tuesday, August 8th either against the Edenton Steamers or the Sharks.
The SwampDogs return to the Swamp on Monday, August 7 for the Teacher Appreciation Night against the Wilson Tobs. The gates will open at 6 with first pitch at 7:05.
