Aurora Win Semi-Final
The joy and relief on the faces of the Iceland Aurora players was obvious as they celebrated their Semi-Final win over the Paris Lions.

"In a series like this, the smallest thing can make the difference in how it turns out," said Iceland left fielder Josh McCrery, shortly after the 4-2 win that clinched the series 3-2. "We're happy we did what it takes to get it done."

The team is now off to the Atlantic Series.

McCrery won series MVP honors on the strength of his .474 batting average during the series. He also had a .524 on-base percentage and 2 home runs, drove in 8 RBI and scored 3 runs.

The Atlantic Series matchups and schedule will be announced after the Semi-Final finishes.
