In the end it took another great pitching performance, this time by Eric Maisch, who celebrated his 23rd birthday just 5 days ago, for the Brewers to take Game 7 in the MGL LCS and move on to the Kinsella Classic Series.
Unsurprisingly, and absolutely correctly, Jim Atwell was named the MVP of the MGL LCS.
And since the San Antonio Keys also won in Game 7 of the SJL LCS, the teams with the best records in their respective leagues will match up in the KCS.
On a team loaded with superstars who usually dominate the spotlight, it was the outspoken but often overlooked 30-year old center fielder Zach McClelland who was named the series MVP.
If the Brewers thought that LCS against Oklahoma City was taxing, they haven't seen anything yet. Going up against the Keys, with all of their offensive firepower, and with San Antonio having homefield advantage for the series, will be a supreme test.
