The Osprey own a 1-0 lead in the Pioneer Baseball League North Division Playoff series, and will have two chances to close out the Great Falls Voyagers beginning tonight at Centene Stadium.

Sound familiar?

The Osprey were just in this position a couple of days ago, having to win twice at home to earn the final playoff berth in the North, sweeping a two-game series against the Billings Mustangs. Now the shoe’s on the other foot.

However, the numbers say not to worry. The Osprey are 7-1 in Great Falls this season (they were 4-2 at home against Billings entering the final series), and have a seven-game win streak at Centene Stadium. And that streak started with Kyle Robinson and Adam Heisler present for the Voyagers – both, of course, are back after mid-season promotions to Class A Kannapolis.

Anyway, here we go … on the air at 6:45, first pitch at 7:00 on AM 930 KMTP and online at MissoulaOsprey.com. To the lineups …
