GCL Nationals — OFF DAY
Having wrapped up the GCL East with 16 games left to play, there’s plenty of time for the G-Nats to prepare for the arbitrary brutal one-game playoff series against the winner of what will most likely be the GCL Northwest division, currently led by the GCL Pirates at 22-22.

DSL Nationals — OFF DAY
It’s the pair of games against the Mets1, Yankees1, and Cubs as the D-Nats head into the penultimate week of the season, nine games off the pace for the division and six and half behind in the Wild Card race.
