In a season marked by rain, even Sunday’s sun couldn’t save the Brazos Valley Bombers regular season finale. The Bombers game with the Colleyville LoneStars scheduled for Sunday afternoon was cancelled because of unsafe field conditions resulting from Saturday night’s storm.
Though Sunday was to be the final game of the B’s regular season, the Bombers will embark on the postseason beginning Monday night. Brazos Valley finished the regular season with a record of 23-20 (.535 winning percentage), good for second place in the Speaker Division and qualifying the club for the TCL playoffs in its inaugural season. The Bombers will take on the Coppell Copperheads in a best-of-three Division Series beginning Monday night in Coppell.
Tuesday the series will come to the Brazos Valley for the first home postseason game in team history – and it’s sure to be a celebration, with both pre- and post-game festivities planned.
Prior to the game, the B’s have teamed up with Montelongo’s Fine Jewelry and Candy 95 to present the “Diamond In The Rough” promotion to give away almost $7,500 in gemstones – including a ½-carat diamond worth $2,500! All women 18 and over will be eligible, with 20 finalists guaranteed to win. 19 of the finalists will each receive a “Bomber Blue” topaz worth $250, and one lucky lady will take home a ½-carat round brilliant-cut diamond with a retail value of $2,500. During the game, a Montelongo’s will pendant-mount all of the gemstones so the lucky winners can wear their stones home.
Following the game, the Bombers will present fans with another of their patented fireworks spectacular, celebrating Brazos Valley’s first-ever playoff appearance.
Tickets for the first home game of the playoffs are on sale now. Playoff tickets can be purchased Sunday at the ballpark, during the week at the team’s office at 405 Mitchell Street in Bryan, over the phone at (979) 779-PLAY, or online at bvbombers.com.
If a Game Three is necessary to determine a Division Series winner, it will be played Wednesday in Coppell.
The winners of the two Divisional Series move on to the Texas Collegiate League Championship Series beginning Friday, August 10. The team with the better regular season record is the first seed and hosts Game One of the best-of-three series. The second seed hosts Game Two on August 11, and if necessary the decisive Game Three would be played at the home of the first seed on August 12.
