Waldorf, Maryland – The Somerset Patriots have officially clinched the 2018 Liberty Division First Half Championship, and thus, a spot in the 2018 Atlantic League postseason.

Somerset’s playoff spot was clinched Wednesday afternoon after the New Britain Bees lost to the Long Island Ducks. 

It marks the Patriots’ Atlantic-League record 19th Half Championship and ninth First Half Championship. It is the franchise’s fourth Liberty Division First Half Championship and seventh overall Half Championship under sixth-year manager Brett Jodie.

Somerset will await the winner of the second half Liberty Division Championship for their opponent to be determined.

The Sugar Land Skeeters have also clinched a spot in the postseason after clinching the First Half Freedom Division Championship on Sunday.
