East Lansing Defeats Plano Wednesday, August 29th , 2085 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 2085, as the East Lansing Mighty Gulls topped the Plano Elephants 8-4 tonight at Elephants Ballpark to win the League 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 East Lansing left fielder Omar Lozoya, who was named series MVP. The Mighty Gulls took the series 5-3. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Beta Conference and a 97-23 record. East Lansing manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Lozoya's words. "Omar 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.
