Two class-A Minor League baseball teams — those from Bowling Green, Ky., and Lake County, Ohio — will transfer from the South Atlantic League to the Midwest League in the 2010 season.
The Bowling Green team was previously the Columbus Catfish, which beat the Rome Braves 5-2 in Monday’s season finale.
The transfer to the Midwest League was made for geographic reasons, officials said.
“The amount of travel involved with the South Atlantic League is no secret, and realignment is intended to address that issue,” said SAL President Eric Krupa. “The South Atlantic League owners recognize the overall, industry-wide aspects of realignment, even though the league itself will lose two solid clubs.”
The Bowling Green club is relocating from Georgia to Kentucky for the 2009 season. Club officials are holding a “name the team contest” in Bowling Green.
