Coulee comes up short, loses Bronze .312 World Series in 6 games

The better team won. The more experienced team won. The team with higher value players won. But, it still tastes a little bitter for the Coulee Cubs. So close, but yet so far. Congrats to the Sin City Aces--a team that will finally get out of bronze after 10 seasons.

All of the games were pretty close and the difference seems to have been the Coulee bullpen having a funky stretch of games. Thought to be the strength of the club, Jose Alvarado, Craig Stammen, and Aroldis Chapman all blew it in separate games.

Thanks to the bullpen, Coulee came up short 3-1 in game 1 (10 innings), 5-3 in game 2 (was tied in bot. 8), and 5-4 in a decisive game 6 (Chapman blew it in the bot. 9).

Not sure if runner-up with the 2nd best W/L in the league means promotion to silver or sticking around in bronze, but it was an entertaining year for this rookie PT club nonetheless.
