As in the 2008 League 1 Series, the Knights found themselves heading home for game 6, down three games to two. Pete Adams (13-13, 3.80) had the start for Vancouver, potentially a start that would decide the Series. Brooklyn once again turned to 26-year old Omar Cambra (3-4, 5.09 ERA). Cambra was added to the rotation when Dave Hambright was injured in mid-September.

Cambra brought his best stuff for game 6. He pitched seven scoreless innings and gave up only three hits. Known for struggling with his control, he walked only one and struck out six. Erik Boyle and Carl Hatton finished the last two innings to complete the Brooklyn shutout.

With pitching that outstanding, the Knights didn’t need much offense. Nevertheless, up 3-0 in the eighth inning, veteran slugger Jeff Castino helped put the game away with a two run home run.

Final score: Brooklyn 5, Vancouver 0
