Express Win Union Cup Crown
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 2058, as the <El Paso Express:team#29> topped the <Philadelphia Stars:team#39> 6-2 tonight at Stars Park to win the Union Cup. It was the 5th 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 El Paso third baseman <Jessie Woodman:player#10243>, who was named series MVP.

The Express took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the West and a 89-49 record. 

El Paso manager   grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Woodman's words.

"Jessie 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.
