Cleveland reaches the Bronze League World Series!
It came down to the end, and involved some heroics from Jim Thome with a 3-run HR in the 1st inning of game 7, and Brad Hand hanging on in the 9th as the Padres loaded the bases, down 4, with 0 outs. Cleveland hung on to win the game by 2.
Charle Nagy pitched a heckuva game, giving up 3 runs in 8.0 IP — 2 of those runs were given up after Hand came into the game.
The Tribe takes on the Shreveport SwampDragons, who won 89 games in the regular season, but were 2-2 against Cleveland. Could we be in-store for yet another lengthy series? Wes Ferrell takes the mound in game 1 vs. Noah Syndergaard. Cleveland would love to toss Trevor Bauer out there, but Bauer is still tired from pitching in Game 6 of the Sub-League Series.
