It's Over! West Virginia Defeats Michigan State
|
With a 3-2 win over the Michigan State Spartans at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium today, the West Virginia Mountaineers wrapped up their 1st title in team history.
The Mountaineers left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after 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 West Virginia manager Gene Lubas. "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 West Virginia celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order.
"I hope they have a big celebration," Michigan State manager Ben Kuehnel said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it."
