A Win Worth Celebrating
The Titans took down the Quebec Capitales 5-2 on Saturday night, and that result was enough to lock up a wildcard berth in the league’s Atlantic Conference. It is the kind of moment that makes late August baseball in Ottawa feel a little sweeter, especially for fans who have been following this young franchise closely.
Joining a Strong Conference Field
Ottawa grabbed the final wildcard spot in the Atlantic Conference, rounding out a postseason group that also includes Quebec City, New Jersey and New York. With a few games still left to play, the Titans still have a chance to climb as high as third in the conference standings before the regular season wraps.
Third Trip to the Postseason
This marks the Titans’ third playoff appearance since joining the Frontier League five seasons ago, a solid track record for a club that has quickly built a loyal local following. The Frontier League itself is an independent circuit made up of 18 teams stretching from Ontario and Quebec all the way down to Mississippi, which makes Ottawa’s consistent playoff presence even more impressive.
Wrapping Up the Regular Season
Before the postseason begins, the Titans still have their final regular season game to play on September 6. It is one last chance for the team to build momentum heading into the playoff run.
How to Catch the Playoff Action
Ottawa will host Game 1 of a best-of-three wildcard series on September 9 at 7 p.m., with the opponent still to be determined. If you have been meaning to catch a Titans game this season, the playoff opener is shaping up to be a lively night out at the ballpark, and a great way to cheer on the city’s team as they chase another deep postseason run.
