The Challengers didn't find a solution against Patrick Lawson and the Bern Cardinals again. Looking to even things up, the C's lost Game 4 on Saturday, October 5 by a score of 1-10 what resulted in their elimination. The Cardinals advanced to the finals winning the best-of-five series 3-1. They will face either the Therwil Flyers or the Embrach Mustangs, as their series is heading into Game 5.
 
Lawson carried a perfect game into the fifth inning. He retired the first 13 batters before Tobias Siegrist grounded a single into right field. Still it was a one run game after six innings with the Cards leading 1-0. They opened the score in the first frame, as Johnny Perigo drove in Sammy Paulino with a two-out single. Both teams exchanged zeros on the scoreboard until the seventh inning when Challengers starter Robert Sedin lost control. He loaded the bases with a walk, a hit batter, a sac bunt and an intentional walk, but didn't manage to get out of the jam. Two bases-loaded walks gave the Cards a 3-0 lead, who extended the gap with a two-run single and a two run triple. They scored nine runs to make it 10-0 before the C's made it out of the inning. As in 2012, the Challengers' season ends in the semi-finals against the Cardinals.

The Challengers lost Game 2 of their best-of-five semi-final series with the defending champion Bern Cardinals on Saturday, September 28 at the Heerenschürli ballpark. The Cardinals jumped on starter Robert Sedin in the first inning as they scored four runs on four hits and one error before the C's ended the inning with a double play. After that, Sedin kept the Cardinals bats under control and allowed just two more runs, but the Challengers didn't come through against Patrick Lawson who limited the C's to one run and six hits in a 6-1 win.
