As some background, they used PIN to set up the seeds at Fargo. Every since the seeds came out, Willie has been tweeting about how awful they were (compared to what he could/would do). To continue with those thoughts:

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[GregPickel]

Desmond beat Sierra 5-3 to finish fifth.

Henckel in the finals tonight.

 

[Psuproud]

Melvin Miller with a walk off takedown to win

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Melvin Miller with a walk off takedown to win

Yeah, he was trailing 7-3, and then scored 2+2+1 in the last 8 seconds to win, 8-7.
