The Gunners burst the bubble of sentiment towards the Orion with dominant victories in Game One, Two and Three, giving up just 3 runs in the first two of the set in Highbury and the first in Fleet. Douglas Croucher and Tyler Hulbert, the starters, were the best players in the first two games.

The Orion came back in Game Four, with Rondinella battling Croucher for 8 innings with the scores tied 2-2. Michael Killeen came in for the 9th, but walked Gambetta and Ulleri to start the inning. Ethan Tribe advanced the runners on an infield single before Kari Vanhala of Finland drove in the winner with a fly ball to right field.

The following day the Orion took the lead in the 6th with an RBI double from Ulleri and an RBI single from Duckering before riding out Connor Tomkins strong start for a 5-4 win, taking the game back to the North Bank.

Back in front of their home fans, the Gunners were in no mood to extend the Orion’s reservations. The Gunners scored 1 run in the first, 2 in the second and third and 3 in the fourth and fifth, whilst David Dalziel spread 4 hits and 1 walk over 9 innings to seal the victory, the Series and the Highbury Gunners third consecutive Championship. Thach Son was named MVP, the Vietnamese batting .520 with 3 homers and 11 RBIs in the Series.
