The full-season teams are off today. The short-season clubs wrap up their regular season tomorrow. All three are playing today, and the Pirates Black have a completion of a suspended game on the schedule as well. That game has no affect on the standings, so we will see if they actually play both games or not. The Pirates Gold will start the playoffs on Thursday.

Game Recap:
The regularly scheduled game was postponed, as the Pirates Black and Mets1 finished off a suspended game from last month (see below). The two teams meet tomorrow on the final day of the regular season, so it’s possible that they play two games, but not necessary for the standings.
Here’s the boxscore for the suspended game, which was finished before the regular game. All of the stats you see, such as RBI totals, averages, ERA, etc are all retroactive to the date that the game started (July 22nd).
