AA Championship to St. Catharines
Sunday, August 27th , 2051
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 2051, as the St. Catharines Saints topped the Sarnia Canadians 12-4 tonight at Kawartha Lakes Stadium to win the AA Championship. It was the 6th 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 St. Catharines catcher Prímio Lebrim, who was named series MVP.
The Saints took the series 3-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Division 1 and a 94-30 record.
St. Catharines manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Lebrim's words.
"Prímio 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.
