they came within a single point

of doing just that as they handily

Another thing that could help

tremendously would be for

Saginaw to have a very bad final

their last three are very winnable

and if they do win those games

then that closes the door on

the Bears. A complete collapse

another spot that Brewer might be

able to work into if they can have

a great showing in these final three

games.
