Florence denied the Miners a clean sweep of the postseason with a slim 4–3 victory in Game 3 at Rent One Park, setting up Game 4 on September 16 at home. After taking a 3–0 lead thanks to a three-run fourth inning that included a two-run blast by Maddox, Florence rallied to tie the game with two runs in the seventh and one run in the eighth. The game remained knotted at 3–3 into extra innings, with neither team being able to break through until the bottom of the 12th. With the bases loaded and two outs, Kaase drew a walk from Florence's Brent Choban to force in the championship-winning run as the Miners claimed their first league title in team history. Lester, who hit .500 (8-for-16) with two doubles, two home runs and three RBIs in the series, was named the championship series MVP.
