Note from the game notes:

Wisconsin’s overall record is 75-61. The Beloit Snappers are 76-62. The teams are tied for the best overall record – both teams have a .551 winning percentage – in the Western Division. Home field advantage in the second round of the playoffs is based on best overall record. The teams split the season series 8-8 and must go to the second tiebreaker (Run differential in games between the teams) if the teams remain tied to the end of the season. The Snappers have that tie breaker as they outscored the Rattlers 96-76 in the season series.
