Since the Triple-A National Championship Game’s inception in 2006, the Pacific Coast League has won nine of the 16 winner-take-all games against the International League. The Norfolk Tides (Orioles) defeated the Oklahoma City Dodgers, 7-6, to win the 2023 Triple-A National Championship Game in a game that saw the Dodgers score four runs on two home runs in the ninth inning to pull within a run before the Tides held on for the victory.
