Great Lakes Wins Round 2 Crown
The Great Lakes Loons are champions, today and forever. The Loons topped the Kane County Cougars 6-2 at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark today to claim the Round 2 crown.

"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and left fielder Mike Hoppe after his club had sealed the victory. "We worked hard and we accomplished our goal."

The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field at the conclusion of the game. Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.

"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said Great Lakes manager Ivan Cruz. "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."

The Loons took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Eastern Division and a 100-39 record.
