Brevard County Defeats St. Lucie Monday, September 23rd , 2109 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 2109, as the Brevard County Manatees topped the St. Lucie Mets 3-2 tonight at Tradition Field to win the Round 2. It was the 13th 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 Brevard County second baseman George Stanford, who was named series MVP. The Manatees took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the FSL North and a 78-60 record. Brevard County manager Rick Mitchell grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Stanford's words. "George 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. View Boxscore View Game Log |
