They were so very close.

Not only did the Moose Jaw Miller Express push the Okotoks Dawgs to a winner-take-all Game 3 of the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) championship series, the underdog squad scored a pair of late runs to even the score entering the ninth inning of that contest.

It took the home-run heroics of hometown hero Connor Crowson in the bottom of the ninth to break the tie, deliver the Dawgs a 6-5 victory, and secure a three-peat title for Okotoks.

The Miller Express were right there, when few expected them to be.

So, what’s next for Moose Jaw?
