There won't be October baseball in Oakland this year, but the A's do have a couple of postseason series to enjoy. The Double-A Midland RockHounds are attempting to defend their 2014 Texas League championship, and the High-A Stockton Ports are looking for their first California League title since 2008.
Both teams won their respective Game 2 contests on Thursday, meaning that both tied their series 1-1. For the RockHounds, that means the series shifts back to Midland for three more games to decide their best-of-5 series; in other words, a best-of-3 at home against the Corpus Christi Hooks (Astros).
