Highlanders Sweep 3L AA Championship Thursday, September 23rd , 2049 With a 8-2 win over the Squirrel Hill Pierogis at Asheville Park today, the Asheville Highlanders wrapped up their 2nd title in team history. The Highlanders left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after the game. "Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Asheville manager Carlos Pérez. "Our players felt that way all year, and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void." A jovial mood filled the air as Asheville celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order. "I hope they have a big celebration," Squirrel Hill manager Marcos Costa said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it." View Boxscore View Game Log |
