MBL news: Sept. 24 -- Fort Wayne is first team to clinch playoff berth
A three-run home run from Tim Tawa capped a six-run bottom of the sixth inning, and Fort Wayne went on to defeat Indianapolis 6-2 and clinch the American League West Division title.
The Mad Men own a 12-game advantage over second-place Grand Rapids with 12 games remaining.
Fort Wayne also has virtually wrapped up home-field advantage in the American League Championship Series, as the best AL East leader Cleveland (85-56) can do is hope to tie the Mad Men for the AL's best mark.
The playoff berth is the fourth for Fort Wayne, and its first since 2028 when the Mad Men won their only title.
