REVOLUTION INDIVIDUAL PLAYOFF TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
York attempting to be first team in Atlantic League history to "3-Peat"
The two-time defending Atlantic League Champion York Revolution have clinched a Wild Card berth at minimum in the 2012 Playoffs, and the organization has put individual playoff tickets on sale for the the five different potential home dates below. York is still in a race with Lancaster for the second half Freedom Division title.
York will play rival Lancaster (the first half division winner) in the first round of the playoffs and host games 3, 4 (if necessary) and 5 (if necessary) in the best-of-5. And if the Revolution advances past the Barnstormers, they will host games 1 and 2 of the Atlantic League Championship Series before the series will finish at the home of the Liberty Division Champion. (Home field advantage is alternated year-by-year between each division.)
Last season, York outlasted Lancaster in a classic divisional playoff series that went the full five games before dispatching the Long Island Ducks in four games to win their second consecutive title. York was just the second Atlantic League franchise to win the championship back-to-back, Somerset being the other in 2008 and 2009. The Revolution is striving to be the first to win three consecutive championships.
