At Cairns Field, in a thrilling, classic final game, the Armadillos outlasted the Rangers 3-2 in 13 innings to claim their third league championship in a row. The game was tied 1-1 after seven, as Steve Pura and Chad Mukanik hooked up in an unbelievable pitcher's duel which featured countless outstanding defensive plays by both teams. The Rangers scored in the top of the ninth to take a 2-1 lead, but Jordan Bird knocked in Karsten Strelioff with the tying run in the bottom of the ninth with two outs to keep the game going. The Armadillos loaded the bases in the 11th inning, but couldn't push across a run.
