Boulders Win 2080 Round 2 Monday, September 16th , 2080 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 2080, as the New York Boulders topped the Evansville Otters 7-2 tonight at Provident Bank Park to win the Round 2. It was the 3rd 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 New York left fielder Brad Maneri, who was named series MVP. The Boulders took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Frontier League Can-Am Division and a 65-31 record. New York manager Jose Mesa Jr. grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Maneri's words. "Brad 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. |
