It's Over! Leningrad Defeats Warsaw
The Leningrad Pelicans are champions, today and forever. The Pelicans topped the Warsaw Wizards 6-5 at Pelicans Park today to claim the Chairman's Cup crown.

"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and third baseman Ulbrecht Glass after his club had sealed the victory. "We worked hard and we accomplished our goal."

The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field at the conclusion of the game. Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.

"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said Leningrad manager . "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."

The Pelicans took the series 4-3. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Eastern Division and a 48-33 record.
