Local sports and the weather

Taking a look at Coast Radio Sports…

For only the third time in the past 25-years the Eugene Emeralds are getting ready for post season play. Yes, the season is only half over, but the Ems clinched the playoff spot because they had the best record in the West Division of the Northwest League at the midpoint. They’ll continue play in the regular season but are already assured of facing the second-half winner beginning September 5th in a ‘best-of-three” series. The Ems had yesterday off… they’ll be at home this evening where they’ll open up a series against the Tri-City Dust Devils.
