"The Giants completed an undefeated run to the the Single-A California League championship on Tuesday night with a 4-2 win over the Inland Empire 66ers in San Bernardino. The title caps a dominating season that saw the squad sweep both of its playoff series after winning a league-leading 81 regular season games. It is San Jose's eighth Cal League title since becoming San Francisco's affiliate in 1988, and the first since 2021."
"Tuesday, the Giants trailed for more than a half inning for the first time in the playoffs, facing deficits of 1-0 and 2-1 before pulling away for good with a three-run rally in the top of the sixth. Lorenzo Meola, Trevor Cohen and Lisbel Diaz drew successive walks to load the bases. Diego Cartaya, who three years ago was the Dodgers' minor league player of the year, followed with a tying single, and Cohen scored the go-ahead run on another walk."
