Both Frisco and Spokane clinched playoff berths with first half titles in their divisions. Frisco opens their playoffs on September 8th. Spokane opens a best of three series on Monday at Yakima.
Hickory clinched a wild card spot in the South Atlantic League while Oklahoma City currently holds a 3.5-game advantage in the Pacific Coast League American South.
