The host Philadelphia Force completed a season-ending sweep of the Akron Racers late Saturday that eliminated the Racers from the 2008 playoffs.
The Force won by scores of 3-1 (10 innings) and 4-0.
Akron's Jamee Juarez lost the opener despite allowing only five hits in nine innings.
The Racers finished the season with a 19-29 record and in fifth place in the six-team National Professional Fastpitch League. The NPF playoffs will be this weekend in Kimberly, Wisc., for the top four teams.

The Brennan White Hat softball team, composed of players age 70 and over from the Greater Akron area, will represent Ohio in the National Senior 70-plus Softball Division next August in San Francisco.
The team defeated Fairborn Stonehill Village twice in the 2008 Ohio Senior Olympics Qualifier at Dayton recently to earn the national berth.
The White Hats won the first game 19-18 on Bill Zavarello's game-winning hit in the bottom of the eighth inning. Tom Vild and Bob Jenkins had home runs. In the second game, Gary Carpenter's grand slam was the highlight of the 25-19 win.
The team has one more tournament this year, Oct. 13-18 at the Huntsman Senior Games in St. George, Utah.
