The Aviators took on the undefeated Cougars in the league Championship game on November 2nd.
The Aviators scored four runs early and led the entire game, but the Cougars couldn’t be put away easily, as they had an answer for every time we increased the lead. 
Finally, in the ninth inning with the Aviators up 15-8, the Cougars clawed their way back into the game, with starting pitcher Jordan Kipling tiring after a gritty eight-inning performance and an injury in the ninth.
The Aviators brought in Dylan Martin with no outs and clinging to a 15-12 lead with runners on second and third. He struck out the first batter he faced, got a 5-3 putout, and then struck out the final batter to solidify the win for the Aviators, their ninth league title!
