The Swift Current Indians and Medicine Hat Mavericks open their  best of five first round WMBL playoff series tonight.

They split the season series with the home team winning each of the four games between the two clubs, and the Mavericks have home field advantage in the playoff series.

Indians Coach Joe Carnahan isn't concerned about a playoff system that matches them up with one of the toughest teams in the league even after the Tribe won their division, saying a lot of the teams were pretty equal this year, and they have to play the best to be the best.
 
Carnahan says good pitching, solid defence and timely hitting are the keys to repeating as WMBL champions.

You can hear tonight's game, and all of the Indians' road playoff games, on The Eagle 94.1 FM starting at 6:50pm.
