Season 68 World Series Recap: Pittsburgh Does It Again!

 Another Mantle season is in the books, and it was the Pittsburgh Privateers coming away with their 4th consecutive World Series title, winning in 7 games over the Columbus Clippers.  The teams alternated wins in the first four games before Columbus ace Albert Juarez pitched a 1-hitter in game 5 to give Columbus a 3-1 win and a 3-2 series lead.  Pittsburgh would bounce back in game 6 with a 6-5 win.  In game 7, a 3rd inning 3-run HR by Calvin Floyd gave Columbus the early lead.  However, Pittsburgh would rally back with a Bryson Hatcher RBI double in the 5th and a Mo Serrano 2-run HR in the 6th.  Former clipper Raul Nunez broke the tie with a solo HR in the 8th and Pittsburgh would close out the series in the 9th for a 4-3 win.  Congrats to aaron_clarke for the series win and another great season!
