The Tri-City Dust Devils can win by losing this evening.

Today marks the end of the Northwest League regular season and the Vancouver Canadians head into it still awaiting their first-round playoff opponent. It will end up being the Dust Devils if Tri-City falls to the C’s in Pasco, Wash., and the Spokane Indians drop their league-play finale to the visiting Everett AquaSox.

Confused?

The C’s have already qualified for the best-of-three North Division final, thanks to winning the first-half pennant. Vancouver (21-16) is one game back of Spokane (22-15) for the second-half pennant, with Tri-City (20-17) two games behind top spot.

If Vancouver and Spokane ended up tied for the second-half pennant, the C’s get the nod thanks to the head-to-head tiebreaker. The next-best overall record in the four-team division also advances then, and Tri-City (40-35) was two games up on Spokane (38-37) in that regard heading into Sunday.
