Are you sure that the Blueclaws can clinch tonight with just a win because according to milb.com the Blueclaws need a win and a Kannapolis loss.

MiLB.com was operating under the assumption that each team would be playing 70 games, but since Lakewood’s game on Wednesday will not be made up, the BlueClaws will only be playing 69.
