Bears Win League Championship Series
The Memphis Bears "bent but didn't break" against the Kansas City Stars in the League Championship Series.

That's according to Jim Johnson of Memphis, who was named series MVP.

"Our guys faced adversity and overcame it. This series wasn't easy, but we stuck to our game and made it work," he said.

\nMemphis won the final game by a 4-3 count and the series 4-1.

Johnson's MVP performance included hitting .450 with a .476 on-base percentage. He also had 5 home runs, drove in 9 RBI and scored 9 runs.

The Memphis Bears don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Richmond Black Rifles - Saint Louis Canaries series. That series is tied at 2 games apiece. The World Series schedule will be announced after the League Championship Series finishes.
