That breeze you feel from the north is the Fairbanks Goldpanners sighing in relief.

The Goldpanners weren't even playing Saturday, but they were among the winners when the Anchorage Glacier Pilots were denied a sixth championship at the National Baseball Congress World Series in Wichita, Kan.

The Pilots lost an extra-inning championship game to Eldorado, Kan., a loss that allows the rival Goldpanners to keep sole possession of the tournament record for most championships. Fairbanks has six and Anchorage five.

A walk-off sacrifice fly in the 11th inning gave the El Dorado Broncos a 2-1 championship win at the 75th annual tournament.

The Pilots finished the 36-team double-elimination tournament with a 7-2 record. Six of those wins came in the loser's bracket as the Pilots won day after day after day to stay alive and earn a date with the undefeated Broncos.

Had the Pilots won Saturday's extra-inning thriller, they would have forced a second game with the Broncos that would have taken both teams into the wee hours in Wichita.

Instead, the tournament wrapped up shortly after midnight with a Kansas team celebrating victory.

The start of the game was delayed more than two hours by rain, and was halted again in the seventh with the score tied 1-1.

El Dorado won it with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th. Catcher David Allbritton, the No. 7 batter in the El Dorado order, lined out to right field to drive in Wes Cunningham from third base.
