How Sweep it Is! Leamington Wins AAA Championship Saturday, August 22nd , 2048 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 2048, as the Leamington Mariners topped the Green Bay Golden Eagles 9-5 tonight at Northwood Park to win the AAA Championship. It was the 9th 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 Leamington left fielder Felipe Valdéz, who was named series MVP. The Mariners took the series 3-0. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Division 1 and a 92-32 record. Leamington manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Valdéz's words. "Felipe 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.
