Not much is certain about the Ohio Valley League playoffs just two days before they are scheduled to start, but what is assured is that Marion will be at home for its first postseason game of the season.
The Bobcats will finish in third place no matter the outcome of either of its two remaining games—today against Tradewater and Monday against Owensboro in the resumption of a suspended tie game. The means they will host the second-place team, either Fulton or Owensboro, in the first game of the postseason. That game would be Tuesday if Owensboro wins Monday, earning them the league crown. However, the postseason would likely start Wednesday if the Oilers lose Monday at Guess Field, forcing a one-game playoff between Owensboro and Fulton necessary to decide the league crown.
If Marion advances in the playoffs, they will be guaranteed of at least one more game at Guess Field in the championship series.
