Brewers Clinch MGL Title!
Fittingly, the Brewers clinch the MGL title by defeating their nearest competitor, the Speed Devils, in the second game of a three game series in Phoenix. After dropping the first game 2-0, the Brewers got a great performance from sometime starter Will Smart, who held the Speed Devils to just 2 hits in 7 1/3rd scoreless innings, and improves to 8-1 with a 2.02 ERA. And in what was a scoreless tie going into the 6th inning, they got a huge hit from Bobby Erbakan- a 2-out, Grand Slam HR, Erbakan's 21st homer of the season. (Erbakan's previous season high was 10 HR's, set last year.)
The Brewers can now coast to the finish line while waiting to see which SJL team they will be facing in this years WPK World Series. The three main contenders are the three teams in the SJL who have won championships in the six years of the league's existence. Most likely the Brewers will be facing the Washington Night Train, who have won 6 straight.
Once that is resolved we will take a closer look at their World Series opponent and how they stack up against the Brewers.
