G3 11/7 Mohawks lost to the Minnesota Bandits 11-6 in the AA Semifinals. Trailing 7-0 after 3 innings, the Mohawks rallied to close the deficit to 7-3. However, with runners on 1st and 2nd and 2-outs in the top of the 4th inning, an ESPN-worthy diving rollover stop by the Bandits 3rd baseman of a hard-hit ground ball down the line, destined to score 2 more runs, ended to rally. The Mohawks were able to scratch out a few more runs but fell short. Minnesota moved on and beat the Cincinnati Tigers 22-6 to capture the AA Championship.
Mohawks finished the week 4-4.
