The Berliners had nothing but Craig Kimbrel left but the Red Sox had a 7 run lead and no need for their closer. And yet....Alex Cora decided Kimbrel could use a little work. So in the top of the 9th Kimbrel entered the game and promptly struck out the side. That left the Berliners with a one strikeout win in the category and a one and a half point overall margin of victory. Two less strikeouts and the Bombers walk away with a championship. It literally came down to one of the last pitchers to take the mound in the American League regular season.  Brings back fond memories of Aaron Laffey.
