Shockers Beat Harbor Whales in 3L R Championship
Sunday, September 12th , 2055
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 2055, as the Surprise Shockers topped the Greenport Harbor Whales 4-1 tonight at Shockers Field to win the 3L R Championship. It was the 3rd 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 Surprise starting pitcher David Luna, who was named series MVP.
The Shockers took the series 2-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a second-place finish in the Menard's Low A and a 55-41 record.
Surprise manager Geoffroy Cadaloba grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Luna's words.
"David 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.
