Flyers end Challengers´ season with 6-5 come-from-behind walk-off win

The Challengers couldn't hold a 5-2 lead and eventually lost 6-5 to the Therwil Flyers in Game 3 of this year's Semifinals.

Just like in 2009, 2010 and 2014, the Flyers proved to be too strong in the postseason, and prevented the Challengers' first Finals since 2007 one more time with a two-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning.

With runners on first and second and one out, Devon Barker delivered an RBI-single up the middle to tie the game at 5-5, and after Tobias Siegrist walked Emanuel Raouzeos to load the bases, Adrian Kaufmann hit the game-winner with a single up the middle.

Robert Sedin and Siegrist had two hits each for the Challengers, but were outhit 14-8, going only 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position.
