Thunderbolts Prevail, as Round 2 Goes to the Wire
After their 13-7 win today at Thunderbolts Park over the Tokyo Samurai, the Sendai Thunderbolts will advance to the League Championship Series. Sendai won the series by a 4-3 margin.

Leading the way for the Thunderbolts was starting pitcher Joe Johnson, who had a spectacular series and was named MVP.

"I don't play differently in the regular season or playoffs. I just go out and do my best every game," he said. "It's certainly nice to play in the big game, but you can't let it get to your head and change your focus."

The League Championship Series matchups and schedule will be announced after the Round 2 finishes.
