  1. Bowling Green has not been eliminated yet but they soon will be. I think their number is somewhere around 4 now. Midwest playoff procedures see link.

  2. MiLB standings are showing Bowling Green as being eliminated. They join Dayton and Burlington as the three teams eliminated from the playoff race.

  3. footnote on milb standings as follows.

    *Elimination numbers do not calculate any league-specific tie-breaking scenarios. Please refer to the league's playoff procedures found here for more details.

    The Hot Rods are 7 games behind West Michigan for the fourth and final playoff spot with 11 games to go. It is just a matter of a few days before they will be eliminated but mathematically they are still alive.
