“What a feeling, I still have the chills from the last out being made,” Riordan said.
Along with their historic sweep over the Rainiers, the Aviators advanced to the Triple-A title game for the first time ever.
“We’re going to come ready to play and hopefully give the fans of Las Vegas a treat,” Riordan said.
The Aviators gave fans a treat in Game 2 of the PCL championship series, from Luke Mann’s three-run homer to Ryan Lasko’s second big fly in as many nights.
“What a performance by our bullpen tonight, what a performance by Luke Mann and Ryan Lasko, just a great feeling, a great team win, a great atmosphere at Las Vegas Ballpark and a lot of great people to share this win with,” Riordan said.
The Aviators will host the winner of the International League Championship Series on Saturday at 7 p.m.
