The Tri-City ValleyCats will face the Sussex County Miners in Game One of the Wild Card Round of the Frontier League playoffs tonight (Wednesday, September 3) at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium in Troy. The game will start at 6:30 PM, with gates opening an hour earlier at 5:30 PM. Tickets are available online, by calling 518-629-CATS (2287), or at the stadium box office.
The ValleyCats, who hold the number three seed in the Atlantic Conference, are making their tenth postseason appearance in their 23-season history. They split the regular season series with the Miners, setting the stage for an exciting playoff matchup.
