After a mini-tournament this past weekend, the Salt Lake Valley American Legion Baseball League will send 10 teams to the state playoffs beginning this weekend at Oquirrh Park in Kearns.
The first eight teams qualified by taking the top eight spots of the 28 team league regular schedule. Last week the second eight teams played for the remaining two spots. Timpanogas will go in as the ninth team and Murray will go in as the last team.
