It is the Red Sox’ most minor league teams in the playoffs since 1959, when 5 of the club’s 6 affiliates did it: Triple-A Minnesota, Class-A Allentown, Class-B Raleigh, Class-D Corning, Class-D Alpine...Boston’s only non-playoff affiliate in 1959, Class-D Waterloo, led the Midwest League, but no playoffs were held. PCL TAKES IT ALL: The 2014 International League Cham- pion PawSox lost 4-2 last night in the Triple-A Champion- ship Game against KC’s Pacific Coast League Champion Omaha Storm Chasers.
