VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- One day after losing Game 1 of the Northwest League Championship Series at home, the Tri-City Dust Devils gave themselves a shot to win their first NWL title.
In a tension-filled game that went down to the wire, Tri-City reliever Nelson Gonzalez faced a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the ninth inning. But he got Vancouver all-star Jon Berti to hit into a game-ending double play to give the Dust Devils a 5-3 Game 2 victory against the Canadians at Nat Bailey Stadium.
"Whatever happened in the beginning (of the inning), I've still got a lot of confidence that I can finish," said Gonzalez, whose confidence in his defense was rewarded. "I know every player behind me is going to do their best to get the out. That's the biggest thing in the world."
