Rays Sweep Round 2
With a 14-0 win over the Burlington Royals at Burlington Athletic Stadium today, the Princeton Rays wrapped up their 17th title in team history.

The Rays left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after the game.

"Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Princeton manager Rusty Brady. "Our players felt that way all year, and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void."

A jovial mood filled the air as Princeton celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order.

"I hope they have a big celebration," Burlington manager Jim Vickery said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it."
