Yuma Defeats Boston Sunday, October 8th , 2006 With a 11-4 win over the Boston Battalion tonight at Boston Field, the Yuma Gnomes wrapped up their 1st title in team history. Yuma left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Gnomes celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following the game. "Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Yuma manager Jose Perez. "Our players felt that way all year and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void." A jovial mood filled the air as Yuma celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works. "We're going to celebrate our team, our championship Yuma Gnomes," the mayor said. The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the West Division and a 48-40 record.
