The Mahoning Valley Scrappers have announced that ticket packages for the 2009 New York-Penn League playoffs are now on sale as the Scrappers try to clinch a playoff spot.

With a maximum of 4 potential playoff games, each box seat playoff package is priced at $28 and offers an $8 savings off the regular ticket price by purchasing in advance. Tickets can be purchased at the Eastwood Field Box Office during regular business hours or by calling the ticket office at 330-505-0000. Seating priority will be given based upon the receipt of your order. Fans will receive a refund for any playoff games that are not played or a credit for the 2010 season.

For more information on purchasing tickets, contact the Scrappers Office.

The playoff format is interesting.  The regular season ends on Sept. 6.  If the Scrappers make the playoffs, they would begin a three-game series on Sept 8 at the lowest of the two seeds home field.  The next day is a travel day and the remainder of the series is played at the higher seeds park.  The championship series follows the same format but can only begin when both first round series would end.
