TODAY'S TILTS

6:00  Daytona at Fort Myers
6:00  Beloit at Cedar Rapids (Randy Dobnak)
Beloit (Jhenderson Hurtado) at Cedar Rapids (Bryan Sammons) (if necessary)

Because of the rainout Wednesday, there is the possibility of a doubleheader between Beloit and Cedar Rapids today.  If Cedar Rapids wins the first game, they take the series and there's no need for another game.  If Beloit wins the first game, the series is tied 1-1 and another game will be played.  Both games will be seven innings.  I think playoff doubleheaders are cool.
