Continuing a trend that led them to a 91-50 record in the regular season, the Memphis Redbirds used four long balls - including three in the top of the first inning - to power their way past the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, 13-10. With their win in Sunday’s fifth and final game of the semifinal series, the Redbirds advanced to the Pacific Coast League Finals.
Tyler O’Neill hit his third home run of the series to lead off the power-happy frame, a two-run long ball. Adolis Garcia followed with a solo homer, his second of the postseason. And after Jacob Wilson drew a walk, Patrick Wilson cleared the wall for the first time in the playoffs.
