Iowa Wins it All
The Iowa faithful were cheering in the streets, and Las Vegas fans wiping away the tears, after the Cubs won the Round 2 at Principal Park today.

The Cubs clinched it by knocking off the 51s 6-2 to take their 5th Pacific Coast League crown. Iowa took the series 4-1.

"This club never gave up all year long," Iowa manager Chris Cooke told the press. "They believed they could win the title and they did."

On the way to the Round 2 title, Iowa compiled a 83-59 won-loss record and finished first in the American Conference North Division.

"We just didn't play well enough to win," 51s manager Jeff Elgin said. "We just didn't make the big plays like they did."
