However, a game-tying homer in the 8th and a go-ahead homer in the 9th are all Bengaluru needs to tie the series at 2, as RHP Tony Silva 🇨🇼🇳🇱, this year's MEL ERA champ, goes the distance allowing just one run. https://i.imgur.com/95RV4MM.png https://i.imgur.com/jQmnCys.png Game Five -- Bengaluru strikes again in Game Five, never trailing in 6-2 win to make their series lead 3-2. 1B Baha Öğütmen 🇹🇷 is tonight's hero, going 4-5 with two doubles and a home run. https://i.imgur.com/dRUmkYh.png https://i.imgur.com/OU7za2P.png The 2060 MEL Champion will be decided next week, with Bengaluru one game away from a third-straight title. https://i.imgur.com/4Kupw7Y.png ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://i.imgur.com/Bz9Rs8Q.png INDIA LEAGUE https://i.imgur.com/Bz9Rs8Q.png SEMIFINAL -- Continued https://i.imgur.com/4Jdt9Fe.png https://i.imgur.com/M2AMSuT.png https://i.imgur.com/5hcn3Sm.png (4) अहमदाबाद साबरमती VS.

However, the Rajput learn why that's the most dangerous lead in sports as they get blown out in Game Five and narrowly beaten in Game Six. Then, in Game Seven, Jaipur's offense can't get anything going as they lose 4-1, ending their season in humiliating fashion. Reigning INL MVP 3B अविना श्वेतांक / Avinna Shvetank 🇮🇳 is named series MVP. https://i.imgur.com/gApzPIh.png https://i.imgur.com/kDQeXo2.png https://i.imgur.com/jfmelwF.png https://i.imgur.com/WdJDWvO.png https://i.imgur.com/fb8Wmfr.png The India League's top two teams will face off next week in the India Series... https://i.imgur.com/NJjXq6X.png ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://i.imgur.com/0qtCe8y.png LIGA DOMINI-CUBANA https://i.imgur.com/0qtCe8y.png PLAYOFF RACE 06.22 -- With playoff spots in the LD and a #1 seed in the LC still hanging in the balance on the final day of the regular season, it turns out to be a great day for baseball.

After trailing for most of the night, they tie things up in the bottom of the 8th, but fall in 11 innings to set up a tiebreaker rematch tomorrow night. https://i.imgur.com/mcx3dVs.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/7rTsMBB.png In Liga Cubana, Holguin has been in first place since June 2, but that all changes as they lose to Pinar del Rio in one of the wildest games of the entire WWoB season, and Las Tunas shuts out Havana to steal the top spot and force the Mineros into the Comodín. https://i.imgur.com/2EeEX8f.png https://i.imgur.com/VjWm7ah.png https://i.imgur.com/34FjEPL.png https://i.imgur.com/0qtCe8y.png TIEBREAKER Santiago and San Pedro face off for the final playoff spot, with Santiago bringing their ace to the mound, which pays off.

Huntsville and Mexico City, currently on 12 and 13 game winning streaks, respectively, have built a 7.5-game gap on the field. Providence and Buffalo look to be in good shape, while the battle for the final playoff spot is a dogfight between five teams within one game of each other. At the bottom of the standings, Sacramento is facing a real chance of relegation just one year after they played in the World Series, but their underlying stats suggest they may have something left in the tank that Milwaukee, Oakland, and Colorado do not. https://i.imgur.com/iyl00yB.png https://i.imgur.com/6rGHTNC.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/rqq75iu.png https://i.imgur.com/MEU0mE1.png T-II -- In the Union League, San Jose and Hawaii are comfortably in position for promotions 60% of the way through the season.
