They certainly did for the Tommies, as even they are thinking it was their scrimmage victories over the Angels and Bats that made the difference in getting them promoted up to AA#4. 
I'm not certain, but it appears Reb you are doubting it was the postseason scrimmages that got the Tommies promoted over the Angels and Bats. If you know otherwise please enlighten us, we're going off the announcement below. We finished the season 13-3 and had one playoff victory. The Bats, for example, finished season 5 at 14-1-1 and one playoff victory. We then won the postseason scrimmages vs the Bats and Angles. If I misread the meaning of your
'even they are thinking' statement then ignore all this, but otherwise we are just as curious to know how a 13-3 team got promoted over a 14-1-1 team.
