Wranglers Clip Wolverines, 6-5, in LCS Contest
The Dallas Wranglers defeated the Detroit Wolverines, 6-5, in Game 2 of the League Championship Series. Making an impact was second baseman Toby Golf, who went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The win moves Dallas into a 1-1 tie with Detroit in the series.

Had Golf not come through in the top of the eighth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Golf hit a run-scoring double. The Wranglers took the lead, 6-5, and never looked back.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Golf told the Dallas News. "It's as simple as that."

Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday at Bluff Park in Dallas.
