Growlers Prevail, as Divisional Series Goes to the Wire
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat were on full display tonight at Growlers Ballpark as the Divisional Series stretched to the final game.

It was the Jonesboro Growlers feeling the thrill of victory, with a 9-1 win over the Columbus Catfish, who were feeling the devastation of coming up short in their quest to make the Regional Championship Series.

"There's no way around it -- this sucks," said Columbus manager Francisco Avalos. "Congratulations to Jonesboro, but I won't sugarcoat it, no one is happy about anything that transpired here tonight."

Instrumental in the 4-3 series win was left fielder Eugene Billingsley, who was named MVP. He hit .452 with a .528 on-base percentage. He had 2 home runs, drove in 8 RBI and scored 5 runs.

"We've got the most important stat of all and that's this final win -- that's the one that matters," he said.

The Regional Championship Series matchups and schedule will be announced after the Divisional Series finishes.
