Birmingham Takes Wild Card Series
After their 9-5 win today at Raley Field over the Ottawa Oddballs, the Birmingham Barons will advance to the Divisional Series. Birmingham won the series by a 4-2 margin.

Leading the way for the Barons was second baseman Chase Ward, who had a spectacular series and was named MVP.

"I don't play differently in the regular season or playoffs. I just go out and do my best every game," he said. "It's certainly nice to play in the big game, but you can't let it get to your head and change your focus."

The Divisional Series matchups and schedule will be announced after the Wild Card Series finishes.
