Playoff Race - 5 to go

One spot remains in each division. One important note: South Bend could actually clinch a playoff spot by winning two out of three in the series with Dayton. Under that scenario, Dayton could still tie the Hawks' second half record, but South Bend would have the head-to-head tiebreaker wrapped up.
