Contrary to premature reports of their demise, Lansing was still alive and fighting to extend their season last night. Meanwhile, New Hampshire went for the Eastern League Championship. The headline may give away the result for each team.

Vancouver took  the Northwest League championship last week and Lansing went down in their series Thursday. Now, New Hampshire finds itself poised for the Midwest League title with just 27 outs to go.

The Lugnuts season is hanging by a thread as they dropped the second game of their Midwest League Championship series to fall behind 2-0.

The affiliates went 1 and 1 in their playoff matchups despite two starters combining to allow 1 run while striking out 15 in 10 innings.

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats lost a heart-breaker to the Richmond Flying Squirrels in Game 1 of the Eastern League Finals.

Just one game on the docket Monday night, but oh what a game.

It was a great day for the affiliates. One team won it all, another advanced to the championship series, and another took a 1-0 lead in the divisional series. There were no losers in Jaysville on Sunday.

It was a night of dominant pitching, timely groundballs and a controversial finish that saw one affiliate wrap up their series, another take the series lead and one affiliate set up a deciding game this afternoon. I won’t give up which affiliate was involved in which game, until after the jump, but my only clue is that Drew Hutchison took the mound last night.

Three affiliates in playoff action. One took the lead, one fell behind, and one will pack up the lockers.

Two games were rained out, while one affiliate won their rubber match in a nailbiter and another was forced into a decisive game 3.

The Dunedin Blue Jays and the Vancouver Canadians had a much better night than the parent club as they picked up their first playoff victories Tuesday.

The minor league season wrapped up for a few teams on Monday night, though the incredible number of affiliates in the playoffs means the MLUs will continue for at least a few more days.

The Bluefield Blue Jays (Appalachian League) players saw their 2011 season come to an end after losing 4-1 to Johnson City on Sunday.

The Bluefield Blue Jays lost the opening game of the Appalachian League Championship by a run. Despite losing to the Boise Hawks, the Vancouver Canadians are headed to the playoffs. Meanwhile, Nestor Molina continued to look impressive as the New Hampshire bats had a good evening in Maine. And, Chris Woodward will get another taste of the majors, as the first of the September promotions has been made. His absence allowed Jayson Nix to lead the offensive attack in Nevada with Adeiny Hechavarria trailing not far behind.
