Huge Games Await the Crabs, with Playoff Hopes in the Balance
In baseball, and in life, sometimes you have to focus on the things you can control. The Humboldt Crabs enter the last two-game set of their conference schedule against the last place West Coast Kings tonight at a deadlock with the Lincoln Potters for the final playoff spot in the PEL, and a chance to play the Healdsburg Prune Packers for the championship.
