1 game out, that's it, 1 game out. Seems simple enough, right?

Not exactly, but it is very far from impossible.

Heading into today's game, the Lake Monsters are extremely close to taking the Stedler Division title.  This has not happened for the franchise since 1996, the team's 3rd year of being in Vermont.  Now, in the 18th season, they are so close that the team and fans can taste it.

In order to get there, however, two things need to happen today.  First, of course, the Lake Monsters need to win.  After the huge 13-0 win over the Tri-City Valley Cats (Houston Astros affiliate) last night, hopes are certainly high for the Monsters to close the regular season with a win.  The second thing that has to happen is that the Connecticut Tigers (Detroit Tigers affiliate) need to lose to the Lowell Spinners (Boston Red Sox affiliate).  Both games start at 1:05 pm today.  So come on out to Centennial Field today to cheer on your Vermont Lake Monsters as they play for their chance at the team’s first division title in 15 years!

See you at the ballpark.
