Minnesota Wins PL AA Championship Crown
Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.

It was the latter case in 2048, as the Minnesota Loons topped the Athletic Club KC Academy 5-2 tonight at Loony Bin to win the PL AA Championship. It was the 7th title in franchise history.

"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Minnesota third baseman John Dorian, who was named series MVP.

The Loons took the series 2-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a second-place finish in the Premier AA and a 61-41 record.

Minnesota manager Eddie O'Bryan grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Dorian's words.

"John said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said.

Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
