| It's Over! New York Defeats Los Angeles | The New York Imperials are champions, today and forever. The Imperials topped the Los Angeles Suns 4-3 at Dyckman Stadium today to claim the World Championship Series crown.
"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and first baseman Al Reece after his club had sealed the victory. "We worked hard and we accomplished our goal."
The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field at the conclusion of the game. Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.
"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said New York manager Jim Abernathy. "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."
The Imperials took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Continental Association East and a 84-78 record. | |
