I got to talking about elimination numbers on the air last night. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's basically the magic number in reverse -- or the number of wins/losses that would eliminate a team from postseason contention.
The Silver Hawks elimination number is currently seven, which means that any combination of Fort Wayne wins or Silver Hawks losses that total up to seven would eliminate the Hawks from postseason contention.
In other words, South Bend desperately needs to sweep this series because any loss would reduce that number by two (because it would be BOTH a Fort Wayne win and a South Bend loss).
