The Rome Emperors will begin their postseason run tonight with Game One of the South Atlantic League South Division Series up in Bowling Green, KY versus the Hot Rods. First pitch is scheduled for 7:35 pm.
The Emperors secured their spot in the playoffs with a first-half division win back in June, while the Hot Rods were the second-half winners. Anticipation has been building for weeks and months in Rome for this moment, according to Justin Franklin, Marketing and Media Relations Coordinator, who adds that the team is excited to make the trek to Bowling Green and then return to the fans at home in Rome.
Rome will host Game Two of the division series this Thursday night at 7 pm and Game Three, if needed, on Friday night at 7 pm. The winner of the series will proceed to the South Atlantic League Championship Series.
Playoff tickets are now available for $5 each on the Rome Emperors website at www.goemperors.com.
