Houston Crowned Champions
|
With a 3-2 win over the El Paso Potros tonight at Big Stick Ballpark, the Houston Big Stick wrapped up their 2nd title in team history.
Houston left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Big Stick celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following 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 Houston manager Ed Johnson. "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 Houston celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works.
"We're going to celebrate our team, our championship Houston Big Stick," he said.
The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the and a 48-32 record.
