In sports, it is a treat when the two best teams play for the championship. That certainly was the case in the NALB 2015 World Championship Series. Two terrific teams with over 100 regular season wins played a very entertaining seven game series. Overall, the games were close and pitching dominated. Although the Brooklyn Knights outscored the Key West Corals 25 to 21, the Corals emerged victorious and claimed their second title in three seasons.

Key West’s bullpen had an outstanding reputation and it did not disappoint. Corals relievers pitched a lot of great innings in the series. In addition, the Corals got convincing wins out of starters Ronaldo Mijangos and Whitney Sanders. Finally, the power of the Corals hitters was a major factor in these seven games. The team hit an amazing 247 home runs in the regular season. They hit another ten homers in the World Championship Series.

The Brooklyn Knights had their chances but often failed to capitalize. Up three games to two, the Knights only had to win a single game at home to take the series. They fell a bit short.

Game 1: Key West 4, Brooklyn 1
Game 2: Brooklyn 6, Key West 4
Game 3: Brooklyn 5, Key West 1
Game 4: Key West 2, Brooklyn 1
Game 5: Brooklyn 5, Key West 0
Game 6: Key West 5, Brooklyn 4
Game 7: Key West 5, Brooklyn 3

Series MVP: 3B Adelmo Porcayo (Key West Corals)
