Montreal Moves on to League Championship Series
The Montreal Habitants are bound for the League Championship Series.

A 4-3 win over the New York Empires at Queens Field ended the Divisional Round, 4-1.

"We're not trying to get ahead of ourselves, but it's hard not to get pumped up and excited and think about how this season could end," said Jeff Murchison. "This could be the biggest celebration Montreal has ever seen if we can win the World Series."

The state of the Major League Baseball championship remains in doubt, but the Habitants certainly appear to be strong contenders.

Murchison was named MVP of the Divisional Round after he posted a .400 batting average, while adding 1 home runs, driving in 2 RBI and scoring 3 runs.

The Montreal Habitants don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Los Angeles Pobladores - San Francisco Seagulls series. That series is tied at 2 games apiece. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Divisional Round finishes.
