San Diego Crowned Champions
It was all about winning for the San Diego Captains -- and win they did.

There was nothing fancy in how they went about it, players said, they just prepared mentally and physically and then went out and played baseball.

"We did the little things right and we did the big things right," said starting pitcher Ray Heath, who was named series MVP. "Now we're the league champions."

San Diego defeated the Dallas Wranglers by a score of 9-1 at Bluff Park to take the series 4-2.

"Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you make your own luck," said San Diego manager Joe Mack. "We got lucky a few times, but mostly we did the right things by being prepared for each game and playing the game the way it's meant to be played."
