Ragin Cajuns Top Mountaineers
Thursday, October 6th , 2022
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 2022, as the Stockton Ragin Cajuns topped the Winchester Mountaineers 5-3 tonight at Mountaineers Park to win the World Series. 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 Stockton starting pitcher Casey Levy, who was named series MVP.
The Ragin Cajuns took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a third-place finish in the Western AA Central Division and a 81-59 record.
Stockton manager Jeffrey Troke grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Levy's words.
"Casey 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.
