The 2015 World Championship Series has been quite entertaining. Knotted at two games apiece, it has featured fine pitching with flashes of home run power. Game five is typically a pivotal game in a seven game series. This was a rematch of the two excellent pitchers who started game one, Tony Tamayo and Ronaldo Mijangos.

The game was another low scoring affair. This time, however, Tamayo got the better of Mijangos. Hoping to spark more scoring, the Knights were aggressive running the bases. Unfortunately, Romeo Usquiano attempted three steals and was thrown out in all three attempts. Both starters pitched six innings but Tamayo did not surrender a run. The Knights scored in the second inning when Alberto Pescador tripled to right field. Ángel Santago added another run in the fourth with a solo home run. Alvino Flores scored the Knights third and final run of the game in the fifth off of a sacrifice fly by Lariel Gómez. Brooklyn’s bullpen took care of the last three innings and sealed the 3-0 shutout win. The series moves back to Brooklyn for game six with the Knights one win away from another championship.

Final score: Brooklyn 3, Key West 0
