Uens held an early 8-2 lead before a big 5th inning saw the Rockies up 9-8. It went back and fourth with Uens leading 10-9 in the top of the 7th inning. With two out Rockies Ty Green hit a clutch solo homerun tying the game at 10.
The title is Uens’ first since 2016 and snaps the Rockies five-year championship run.
