Spikes Crowned Champions
Sunday, October 7th , 2007
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 2007, as the Boise Spikes topped the Omaha War Dogs 7-1 tonight at War Dogs 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 Boise center fielder Adam Jones, who was named series MVP.
The Spikes took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a second-place finish in the Sub League 2 West Division and a 91-53 record.
Boise manager Keith Lampard grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Jones's words.
"Adam 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.
