Well, it was a bit of a struggle, but the Windy City Thunderbolts have come out the winners and are now Frontier League Champions. This was the first time the franchise, and this is going back to its years as the Cook County Cheetahs, had even made it into the post-season. It turns out, their first trip was the one that got them the championship.
They swept through the Rockford Riverhawks in the first round, easily enough. The second round turned out to be more of a challenge as they faced off against the Washington Wild Things.
The Wild Things managed to get to a 2 games to nothing lead in the series, before the Thunderbolts were able to put aside their nerves and start their winning ways. During last night’t game, any doubts they may have had previously seemed to have vanished entirely. The came out swinging and jumped to a 5-0 lead.
Pitching and defense have marked the Thunderbolts’ season and that showed again last night. They held the Wild Things to only three runs.
FINAL SCORE: Thunderbolts 10 Wild Things 3
