Their seemingly impossible mission is complete: The R-Braves are going to the playoffs.Putting the finishing touches on the most dramatic turnaround in team history, the Braves clinched a postseason berth on Friday night.
The Braves, who owned the worst record in the South Atlantic League in the first half of the season, swept a doubleheader against Lexington on Friday.
The sweep, coupled with Asheville?s loss to Hagerstown, gave the Braves the Southern Division?s second-half title.
The Braves will host Asheville in the first game of a best-of-three playoff series on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the SMS ticket windows and at romebraves.com.
The second game of the series (and the third, if necessary) will be in Asheville.
It will be the R-Braves' first playoff appearance since 2006. The team won the South Atlantic League Championship in 2003 in its inaugural season in Rome.
?We are very excited and proud to bring the playoffs back to Rome and Northwest Georgia,? said Rome general manager Mike Dunn in a press release.
The Braves won just 18 of the 70 games before the All-Star break, which was the worst half-season record in team history and the worst record in the league.
After the All Star break, the Braves put together a 13-game winning streak, a new club record, and won 29 of 43 games to open the second half.
NOTE: Fans are being asked to wear white to the Wednesday's game. ... If the Braves advance to the best-of-five championship series, Games 1 and 2 will be played in Rome on Sept. 10 and 11 with the remaining games played in the Northern Division city. Tickets are on sale now at the Rome Braves ticket office or online at romebraves.com.
