Vimpelin Veto beat Sotkamo Jymy 3 games to 1 to win the 2017 Finnish baseball title. It's the 5th men's title in club history. (1960, 1965, 2010, 2016) and it extra sweet because Sotkamo won 5 straight titles against us from 2011-2015.

Last year, Veto won at home. This year, had to go to Sotkamo to win it on their field.

Here's the final play of the game.

Tähän päättyi upea pesiskesä! @vimpelinveto ja toinen peräkkäinen mestaruus! #pesis pic.twitter.com/tzqYOmgDvi

The hitter tried to advance the runner with a bunt, the first baseman made tried to throw the runner out at 2nd, 2nd baseman bobbled it trying to stay on the base. Right shortstop chases the errant throw almost into the stands - Sotakmo sent their advancing runner home rather than keeping two men on with 2 outs and the throw home was just on target.

I'm not sure they should've sent the runner, but given it almost worked, it was probably worth the gamble to tie the game.
