The Redbirds are one game away from winning the Pacific Coast League championship, thanks to a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th in yesterday’s daytime playoff game at AutoZone Park. The team is en route to El Paso for an away game tonight… but don’t worry, you can still see it. AutoZone Park is hosting a free PCL Championship Watch Party tonight at 7. The game will be shown on the video board and the club level TVs. Ballpark favorite concessions, including alcoholic beverages, will be on sale.
