The three-game series will begin with the division winners of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League squaring off for the league championship on Friday, Sept. 30 at 7:05 p.m. PST/10:05 p.m. ET. On Saturday, Oct. 1, the International League division winners will meet to determine the International League champion at 6:05 p.m. PT/9:05 p.m. ET. The two league champions will play on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 4:05 p.m. PT/7:05 p.m. ET to crown the overall Triple-A National Champion. “This new playoff system to determine an overall champion will create an exciting finish to the Triple-A season,” said **Morgan Sword**, Major League Baseball’s Executive Vice President, Baseball Operations. “We appreciate the Las Vegas Aviators hosting this inaugural event and we look forward to an exciting weekend of championship- caliber baseball at one of MiLB’s premier ballparks.” Las Vegas Ballpark was slated to host the 2020 Triple-A National Championship Game, and the Aviators jumped at the opportunity to stage the showcase event in 2022. “We’re very excited to host the Triple-A Triple Championship weekend as Las Vegas Ballpark was built to host events like this,” said Aviators President & Chief Operations Officer **Don Logan**. “It will be great to bring our Triple-A brethren together and crown a champion in this new and exciting format.” Since the Triple-A National Championship Game’s inception in 2006, the Pacific Coast League has won nine of the 15 winner-take-all games against the International League, with the Sacramento River Cats defeating the Columbus Clippers 4-0 in the most recent Championship Game in 2019. The Durham Bulls had the overall best record among the 30 Triple-A teams in 2021, but a traditional postseason was not scheduled due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. The National Championship team will receive a cash prize to be split among their players. ### **About Minor League Baseball ** Minor League Baseball consists of 120 teams across four classification levels (Single-A, High-A, Double-A and Triple-A) that are affiliated with Major League Baseball’s 30 teams.
