South America Gulls Win Round 1 Sunday, February 20th , 2056 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 2056, as the South America Gulls topped the Africa Monarchs 8-0 tonight at Buenos Aires Park to win the Round 1. 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 South America starting pitcher Dionisio Bonaiceti, who was named series MVP. The Gulls took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a second-place finish in the Conference 1 and a 23-18 record. South America manager Mohammed bin Ala' al din grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Bonaiceti's words. "Dionisio 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 |
