Playoff baseball in Camden

If you're driving over the Ben Franklin Bridge right now you can look down and see playoff-type baseball in Camden. Of course, if you're driving over that bridge, you probably are not reading my blog at the same time. And if you are doing both, then you have no chance to be one of All-State's safe drivers.
But don't fret. You can still get a sky view of playoff-type baseball Saturday night or Sunday afternoon.
The Patriots and Riversharks are playing three games that should decide the Atlantic League South Division first-half title and accompanying playoff berth. They are not the last three games of the first-half schedule -- as they were originally scheduled to be -- because, on Monday, Somerset has a doubleheader in Lancaster against the Barnstormers and Camden is visiting Bridgeport. Both are rainout makeup games.
But there is only one scenario in which those Monday games will matter since the Riversharks hold 1 1/2 game edge atop the standings entering Friday's action. If the teams tie for first place, the Patriots get the berth because of the tiebreaker -- head-to-head series.

Here are the scenarios:
Patriots sweeps Camden: They win the division outright.
Patriots take two of three: They enter Monday's games with a 1/2 game deficit.
Riversharks take two of three: They win the division outright. No sweep needed.
