Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Metro Red Sox are champions of the MSBL Masters Division.

With an 8-1 victory over the Milton Breakers in Game 3 of the 2018 MSBL Masters Championship, the Metro Red Sox have won their second straight and the franchise's 10th overall title. Remarkably, of those ten championships, half of them have been won in back-to-back fashion.

The Red Sox finished the 2018 regular season with a league-best 13-3 record, earning the No. 1 seed in the postseason and an automatic bid to the quarterfinals. There, they faced the Winthrop White Sox, who they went on to defeat 20-1 and 19-5 in Games 1 and 2, respectively.

The Red Sox' dominance continued in the semifinals, with a 2-game sweep of the Los Gigantes, outscoring their opponent 20-1 (12-1, 8-0) in the series and advancing to the Finals for the fourth time in the past five seasons.

Their Finals opponent was the No. 2-seeded Milton Breakers (12-3), who had a fine postseason of their own, first squeaking past the Braintree Rockies in the quarterfinals, and then the Somerville Alibrandis in the semifinals, coming from behind in both series after losing the opener. The Breakers would reach the Finals for the first time since joining the Masters Division in 2016.

Finals Game 3 - Red Sox 8, Breakers 1

After taking a 3-1 lead in the 4th, the Red Sox added five more insurance runs in the sixth to put the game out of reach, earning the 8-1 victory and their second straight Masters championship.

Busby, Hart and Rousseau had multiple hits for the Red Sox, while the Breakers' Bobby Anderson went 3-for-3 for a second straight game. Robert Austin (4 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1.75 ERA) picked up the win and Sam Steed (3 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0.00 ERA) earned the save for the Red Sox.

As a team, the Red Sox hit an impressive .404 in the postseason. Tim Hart led the offense with a .789 batting average, going 15-for-19 with 3 doubles, 2 triples, and a home run. Sam Steed anchored the pitching staff, posting a 3-0 record on the hill with 1 save while striking out 19.

Congratulations to the Metro Red Sox on winning the 2018 MSBL Masters Championship and the franchise's 10th overall title, and hats off to the Milton Breakers on a fine season and their first Finals appearance.
