That's a clincher

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees put the ol' exclamation point on the end of their International League Championship series with the Durham Bulls. The final score in the clinching game was 20-2.

Former Dayton Dragon broadcaster Mike Vander Wood was behind the microphone for the Yankees. Former Timber Rattler pitching coach Rafael Chaves holds that same position for the Yankees.

Follow this link for the game story. You can click on the link at that page that reads Audio: Yankees win, Yankees win to hear Mike's call of the final out. If you know anything about Mike, you would know that he did not use that phrase.

The win puts the Yankees in the Bricktown Showdown in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, September 16 against the winner of the Pacific Coast League Finals. Right now, Sacramento leads Oklahoma City 2-1 in the best-of-five series. Game four is tonight.

You can catch the Bricktown Showdown on ESPN2. Game time is 7:00pm CDT
