The Minnesota Twins have seen their minor league teams this year rate as the top team in many of their affiliate levels. After three teams failed to get all the way to a championship, the Elizabethton team made the championship and won the whole thing!
Elizabethton went 41-27 on the season, which was good enough to win the West division, though it was the 3rd best regular season record in the league. The E-Twins had to endure through rough weather in the first weekend to get past the Greeneville team in order to face Pulaski. In the first game of the best-of-3 series, the Twins blew out the Yankees 12-1 but on Friday evening, they had a big 8-3 lead before the Yankees clawed back with 4 seventh inning runs.
