Jul. 2—The Toledo Mud Hens' season will extend to the beginning of October.

Minor League Baseball announced the extension of the Triple-A season and added two series to the Triple-A East schedule. Toledo's season was originally slated to end Sept. 19. The final two series of the season will begin on Sept. 22 and Sept. 29.

Each series will be a five-game set. The Mud Hens haven't announced their opponents, time, or location for the two series.

Instead of a playoff format, the club with the best overall record will be named the champions of the league.

Low-A, High-A, and Double-A levels will have a best-of-five series for the postseason to determine a champion.

The three levels will have the top two teams in its league participate in a best-of-five format. Postseasons for Low-A, High-A, and Double-A teams begin Sept. 21.

The Mud Hens are in sole possession of second place within the Triple-A East Midwest Division and have the seventh best record in Triple-A East.
