Back2Back! Vancouver Canadians are 2012 NWL Champions!

Big, heartfelt congratulations to the Vancouver Canadians for winning their second straight Northwest League championship!

As rain fell on Vancouver Sunday evening, the C's put the Boise Hawks away 12-9 in the last nail-biting game of the best-of-three final series at the Hawks tritely, yet with this result appropriately, named Memorial Stadium.

The game and title looked out of the C's reach tonight until they posted a spectacular 7-run rally in the 8th inning to put the hearty hush on the 'Hawkstown U.S.A.' faithful.

Too bad the C's did not have the opportunity to take it at Nat Bailey again like they did last year, but the win is still just as sweet! Nice to see the C's did not squander their huge comeback victory in Thursday's NWL Finals opener - which some are calling the greatest comeback in C's franchise history - with yesterday's late-inning heartbreaker.

Yay, Canadians! Back to back Northwest League Champs!

Has a nice ring to it.

Then again, why stop at two?
