Lake County Defeats Peoria Thursday, September 23rd , 2106 With a 7-5 win over the Peoria Chiefs at Classic Park today, the Lake County Captains wrapped up their 4th title in team history. The Captains 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 Lake County manager Garrett Holt. "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 Lake County 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," Peoria manager Tommy Davenport said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it." View Boxscore View Game Log |
