Just a note here on the Dash's playoff picture. As it stands right now, they are five games behind in their division, but 4 1/2 ahead in the "wild card." However, for them to go to the playoffs with the wild card, they need the Down East Wood Ducks to win the second half division title. The Wood Ducks currently are second in the division by 1/2 a game.
