In the decisive game, Paris starter Roberto Romero was perfect through 3 innings, but a rain delay meant the Cyclones had to go the bullpen and that didn't go well. Warsaw's 17 runs sets a record for most runs in a ELS game.

The WLCS between Paris and Glasgow will long be remembered as a classic series, with 5 one run games out of 5.

The EL get their second straight title.
