Gary, Ind.—The Gary SouthShore RailCats Professional Baseball Club today announced their home playoff schedule and ticket information for the Northern League South Division Playoffs. The RailCats earned a playoff berth on Friday night by clinching the first half championship in the league's split-season format.

By winning the first half, the RailCats have earned the home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs. They will play on the road for games one and two of the best-of-five series and host the remaining games. Games one and two will be played on September 4^th and 5^th.

Game three of the South Division playoffs will be played at U. S. Steel Yard on Friday, September 7^th. If the series continues for games four and five, those games will be played on Saturday, September 8^th and Sunday, September 9^th at U. S. Steel Yard.

Tickets for the September 7^th game will go on sale Friday, July 13 at 10:00 a.m. at the Ticket Office at U. S. Steel Yard, by phone at (219) 882-2255, and on-line at www.railcatsbaseball.com. Tickets are $11.00 for box seats, $10.00 for reserved seats, and $8.00 for outfield terrace seating.
