It's Over! El Paso Defeats Chihuahua
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 1978, as the El Paso Potros topped the Chihuahua Estrellas 10-3 tonight at El Paso Grounds to win the Sunset Trophy. It was the 11th 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 El Paso third baseman Bennett Davis, who was named series MVP.

The Potros took the series 5-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a second-place finish in the and a 45-37 record.

El Paso manager Nate Quinn grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Davis's words.

"Bennett said it best -- we played better than the other team," he said.

Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
