Whales Win PL AA Championship
Friday, September 24th , 2049
A celebratory mood filled the air as the Virginia Beach Whales closed out the season with a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Loons at Virginia Beach Grounds to capture the PL AA Championship, 2-1.
Giving the Loons credit for a hard-fought series, Whales players said they believed throughout the postseason that their "destiny" was to be crowned USPL Double A champions.
"We felt like this was our year all season long," said center fielder Damon Joseph, who was named series MVP. "It was our destiny to win it and we did."
It was the 8th in franchise history. During the Premier AA regular season Virginia Beach put up a 65-37 record and finished second.
"They're the champions and they deserve it," said a dejected Minnesota manager Eddie O'Bryan. "We played good ball, they just played better than us."
