In the American League Championship Series, The Mighty Hott Dogs and Staff Infection were locked in a pitcher's duel until Jared Kepnes hit a ball to leftfield that was right at the fence, and left-fielder Rob Gimler had a chance as it knocked off of his glove and went over the fence for a Home-Run, giving the Hott Dogs a 3-0 lead. The Hott Dogs later added another run in the 4th to extend their lead to 4-0. Kepnes held the Staff Infection bats quiet until Tim McCombe hit a towering fly ball that cut the lead in half in the bottom of the fifth.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Staff Infection had plans of another comeback against the Mighty Hott Dogs. Tim Campbell hit a one out single to gets things started, follow by a McCombe single to get two on and only one out. Cathy Davis hit a hard line drive that was snared by the third baseman. Down to their last out, Nick Schleicher hit a soft infield single that was thrown over the first baseman's head and allowed a run to score and moving the winning run into scoring position. Rob Gimler was up in a crucial spot and tried to use his speed to get him aboard. He hit a rope, but it was right at the third baseman, who quickly scooped it up and threw out Gimler, and onto the Championship game went the Mighty Hott Dogs.

In the Championship game Kepnes held a potent High Flyers offense to only one run by getting over half of his outs by the way of fly-outs. The Mighty Hott Dogs won the game by a score of 5-1. Jared Kepnes was named MVP throughout the playoffs registering three wins and giving up only six runs in three games. Thank you for all the players and teams for coming out this season.
