This past week, the league champs continued right where they left off—trying to post another undefeated record. The only difference is this time it's in the postseason.

The Braves got off to another good start in the post-season tournament, which started on May 27. They advanced from their pool of five teams after stringing together four victories over the Reds, Yankees, A's and Tigers. Meanwhile, the Tigers (fourth-place in regular season at 9-8) took the second and final advancing spot with a 2-2 record in pool play.

In the second pool of five, the top teams from the regular season also continued their dominance. The Indians (second at 13-4) and Red Sox (third at 10-7) both advanced by racking up 3-1 records in pool play. The top four teams then squared off in a double elimination tournament that began on Thursday, June 5.

The Braves continued their hot streak by defeating the Red Sox in a close 3-2 ballgame. Sam DeFever led the Braves hitters with two hits. Meanwhile, Steven Zavodnick and Nick Hirschman kept the Red Sox hitters quiet for most of the game. Zavodnick, who gave up five runs the entire year, hurled three innings yielding no runs and just one hit. Hirschman stepped in and threw two innings of scoreless baseball, while protecting a 2-0 Braves lead.

The Red Sox finally made some noise in the sixth inning. Stephen Hight started the rally by reaching base, followed by Ryan McGee's infield hit. With two out and the game on the line, Porter Holcomb delivered a two-run double to tie it 2-2.

But the Braves could not be denied. Kyle Johnson got the Braves started with a single in the bottom of the sixth. After John Sands was hit by a pitch, Zavodnick and Hirschman drew two walks, the latter forcing in the winning run.

The victory moved the Braves into the winner's bracket, where they were joined by the Indians, who rallied to beat the Tigers 5-3.

The Tigers jumped out to an early lead in the game and held a 2-1 cushion in the fifth. But the Indians used a two-out rally in the bottom half of the inning to grab the lead. After Michael Deloumi drew a walk, Jake Tonkel tripled him home to tie the game. The next batter, Nathan Burke, singled home Tonkel to give the Indians the advantage. Then Clayton Susick stepped to the plate and delivered a two-run home run to cap the four-run rally.

The Tigers nearly responded with a rally of their own in the sixth inning. Kevin Lord singled to open the frame. After three consecutive walks to John Williams, Tom Patton and Nick Lamson, the Tigers trailed 5-3 with one out before having their final two batters retired.

The Indians and Braves played on Saturday to determine who would advance to Monday's championship game. The Braves, backed by strong pitching once again, ran away with the 6-0 victory.

Anthony Cumbra's second-inning single turned out to be the only offense the Indians could gather, as Hirschman and Zavodnick faced only one batter over the minimum. Hirschman tossed the first three frames, surrendering just Cumbra's hit. Zavodnick closed out the final three innings by fanning all nine batters he faced.

Justin Lewis' 2 for 2 performance highlighted the Braves attack, which scored one run in the second, four in the third and one in the fourth.

In other action on Saturday, the Red Sox kept their post-season hopes alive with an 8-6 victory over the Tigers. The Tigers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on a two-run single by Kevin Lord, but the Red Sox responded by scoring three of their own in the bottom half. Jeffrey Clark's RBI double and Geo Shannon's RBI single gave the Tigers a 4-3 lead in the second.

The Red Sox continued their offensive outburst in the bottom of the second with three runs highlighted by three singles by Robbie Dunne, Tim Garvey and Colin Chapman. After adding another run in the third to make it 7-4, the Red Sox and Tigers traded runs for the rest of the game. The Tigers' Matt Calhoun singled in a run to cut the lead to 8-6, but the Tigers could not make it any closer.

The Red Sox's victory earned them a spot in the semi-finals on Sunday. The winner of the showdown between the Red Sox and Indians will advance to play the high-flying Braves on Monday.
