New Arkton Sweeps into the League Championship Series: Many baseball pundits expected a close series in the National League Division Series. It turned out quite a bit different.

The New Arkton Bears swept aside the Dearborne Pilots to advance to the League Championship Series, winning the final game by a 5-0 score at Pilots Ballpark.

The series MVP was right fielder Raul Gomez, who hit .471 with a .550 on-base percentage. He had 0 home runs, drove in 3 RBI and scored 5 runs.

“We expected this series to go right down to the wire, so to sweep is a bit of a surprise,” he said. “But we’ll take it.”

The New Arkton Bears don’t know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the La Mirada Penguins – Capital City Monarchs series. Capital City leads the series 3 games to 2. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Division Series finishes.
