CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds are heading back to the postseason.

With a Wild Card berth officially secured, the Reds have punched their ticket to the Doubleday Baseball League playoffs for the fourth consecutive season, continuing an impressive run of consistency in one of the league's competitive divisions.

The Reds will face either the Charlotte Knights or the Kansas City Royals in the first round of the playoffs, with the final matchup to be determined as the remaining postseason picture takes shape.

Both potential opponents present an intriguing challenge. Regardless of which team awaits, Cincinnati will enter the series looking to turn another successful regular season into a deep October run.

The Reds are in. The streak continues. And October baseball awaits.
