The Bombers won the next game 3-0 with another home run by Roland Emery. In the next series, the Bombers won the series 2-0 over the Ontario Lightning with scores of 9-2 and 8-3. Then the Bombers faced a tough matchup against the St. Johns Deadly Sins in the league final.
In the bottom of the fifth in game one, the Bombers were winning 2-1, but when Maureo Salcido hit a two-run blast, that propelled the Bombers forward to a 4-2 victory. In-game two, 27-year-old catcher Reynaldo Pitcher was the star of the show. With 100 power, there was no holding Pitcher back. In the top of the 4th, Pitcher got the Bombers on board with a home run to tie the game at one. But with a tied game in the 6th, Pitcher hit a two-run blast that put the Bombers on top. But Pitcher wasn't done there, Pitcher got a clutch single in the top half of the 7th to put the Bombers on top, 6-5.

In the next round, the Bombers were down two early, but a five-run inning with a two-run home run by Roland Emery but the Bombers passed the Fort Worth Horned Frogs
In the World Series, the Bombers faced a tough task against the World ranked number 18, Honolulu Shimakaze.
