Shiners Top Marauders Friday, October 27th , 2023 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 2023, as the Charleston Shiners topped the Philadelphia Marauders 5-2 tonight at Ballpark of Charleston to win the World Series. It was the 1st 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 Charleston left fielder Tim Hutchison, who was named series MVP. The Shiners took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the National Conference South Division and a 112-50 record. Charleston manager Chad Hart grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Hutchison's words. "Tim 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. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
