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 2049, as the New New York Blernsballers topped the Karak Kadrin Slayers 2-0 tonight at Blernsballers Ballpark to win the Championship. It was the 2nd 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 New York second baseman Munchnik *van Schoonhoven, who was named series MVP.
The Blernsballers took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the SciFi League Division 2 and a 74-52 record.
New New York manager Kingsfriend of East Gondo grinned and nodded when asked to comment on *van Schoonhoven’s words.
“Munchnik 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.
