The playoffs are now over and they ended in dramatic fashion. Griffen Bremmer threw 3 straight strikes as the skies instantly opened up on Muzzy Field in Bristol to drench everyone on the field as the last out was recorded. This is the second win in franchise history for the Brickhouse Indians (the other in 2006). First year manager Keith Echevarria and Indians GM/owner/coach Chris Barsa along with everyone in the dugout ran out to join the 9 Indians already on the field as they mobbed Griffen Bremmer at the mound. Griffen just picked up the complete game win in game 2 of the finals. The Indians won game 2, 9-3. No game 3 was necessary after they already had won game one behind John Amendola’s gem of a win over the Orioles, 5-1, on Thursday 8/16.

The regular season wrapped Friday with Elmer’s beating the Expos, 9-3 and sending the Expos to the 7th seed (in the elimination bracket). This capped a great stretch by Elmer’s winning at the 4 games in the last 5 days, ensuring they would avoid starting with a loss in the Tourney. Earlier in the week the Orioles finally clinched their regular season East Division crown an overall #1 seed heading into the tournament as the regular season champion. The Bristol Knights had already locked up the Central Division more than a week earlier, and enter the tournament as the #2 overall seed.
