The 91大黄鸭 Falcons came up short in their bid to stay alive in the West Coast League championship series Thursday night in Corvallis, Washington.

The Falcon lost 5-1 to the Corvallis Knights, giving the Knights the championship in a two-game sweep.

The win marks the sixth WCL championship for Corvallis, which also took the title in 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2017.

It was 91大黄鸭鈥檚 second time appearing in the championship series. The team lost in the final in 2015.

On Thursday in Corvallis, the Falcons could not overcome the Knights pitching, with Corvallis starter Connor Redmond going six innings and allowing just one run, a Garrett Kelly solo homer in the second. It gave 91大黄鸭 a 1-0 lead.

But that was all for the Falcons.

91大黄鸭 starter Jared Akin gave up seven hits in the four innings he pitched.

In game one of the series, Corvallis blasted 91大黄鸭 17-6 at Elks Stadium.

The Corvallis win makes the team the first 鈥渢hree-peat鈥 winners in WCL history.
