Fort Worth Wins 1990 Round 1!
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 1990, as the Fort Worth Cats topped the San Diego Admirals 1-0 tonight at Rage Ballpark to win the Round 1. It was the 1st 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 Fort Worth left fielder Darryl Motley, who was named series MVP.

The Cats took the series 4-3. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the East Division and a 74-22 record.

Fort Worth manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Motley's words.

"Darryl 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.
