Dodgers Repeat

Drew Birss led the Dodgers at the plate during the playoffs, hitting .583 including going 4-for-4 with 3 RBI in the clinching game.  The trio of Connor Geekie, Riley Shamray, and Ty Paddock locked it down on the mound, combining for 3 wins and 0 earned runs over 19 and 2/3 innings over the tournament.
