With two games to play, the Kannapolis Intimidators and West Virginia Power are even for the second playoff spot in the South Atlantic League's Northern Division, at least in terms of games played.
West Virginia has the edge in winning percentage by one one-thousandth of a point, .542 to .541, thanks to four fewer games played. The Power is 71-60, while Kannapolis is 73-62.
The playoff procedures as publicly listed don't specify whether it comes down to winning percentage or games. If it's the latter, Kannapolis is in good shape, as it holds the edge in the first tie-breaker by virtue of their 7-1 record against West Virginia during the season. We'll find out with two more games, at least assuming the weather cooperates.
