Three of the four teams that will participate in the 2005 Texas Collegiate Baseball League playoffs have been set.

The Weatherford Wranglers clinched the second playoff spot in the Rogers Hornsby Division on Friday night with a 6-2 victory over the Division champion Denton Outlaws.

Game Two will take place on Tuesday, August 2 at Roger Williams Ballpark in Weatherford at 7:05 p.m. If necessary, a third game would be played in Denton on Wednesday night, August 3.

The final playoff spot to be determined is second place in the Tris Speaker Division. With a 9-7 win at McKinney on Friday, the Euless LoneStars moved into a tie with the Marshals for the right to play the Division champion Coppell Copperheads in the playoffs.
