With its 62-game regular season complete, the top four teams in the Futures League are ready for postseason baseball.
Featuring the Worcester Bravehearts, Vermont Lake Monsters, New Britain Bees and Norwich Sea Unicorns, the action begins Sunday evening with a best-of-three semifinal round before the league’s 15th champion is crowned within the next week.
Worcester is looking to win its first title since 2019 after a dominant summer in which it set a single-season league record with 45 wins. However, Norwich climbed into the field as the two-time defending champ and looks to become the first team to win three in a row.
