Three Rivers would extend its lead to 7-1 and then 8-2 for the final. The Bandits are 5-0 against the Indians this summer.
In game one in the semis, the Indians cruised against the Mudcats, taking an 8-0 lead at one point in the early going.
All-tournament selection Andrew Harden got the Tribe on the board first with this RBI single, one of his seven-hits in the tournament.
