The Cleveland Indians earned a resounding win over their archrivals the Detroit Tigers on Friday night at Progressive Field, inching ever so much closer to an American League Central Division title. But while there is still work to be done for the club to reach the promised land, one of its minor league affiliates got to experience the champagne-popping glory of a championship.
On Friday night, the Double-A Akron Rubberducks claimed a 2-1 victory over the Trenton Thunder in the Eastern League Championship Series, giving the club a 3-0 sweep and the 2016 title.
DUCKS WIN!
