2012 Year end tournament - Sunday, Sept. 9th

Teir 2 - Summary

 With all playoff hope riding on this tournament all teams were poised to make one last push for post-season play.  With Chicago battling through tough opponents in  Baltimore and San Diago only to face the New York Yankees who had no small feat getting to the finals.  The finals was one for the record books with both teams having the chance to take the championship.  Late in the game Chicago hits a 3 run shot only to have it called back cause the runner touches home plate forcing the 3rd out ending the inning.  Going into the bottom of the 8th inning with 1 out and 1 runner on base.  Ravi hits a shot to the fence only to be robbed by Dave with an unbelievable catch.  With the next batter walking Dwayne singles to score 2 runs to end the game.
 
Congrats Yankees!!! You are the Teir 2 Knockout Tourny Champs and the 12th seeded team in the playoffs.
