Tampa Bay Beats Las Vegas in Pro Circuit Cup Saturday, October 24th , 2009 With a 4-2 win over the Las Vegas Aces at The Thunder Bowl today, the Tampa Bay Thunder wrapped up their 2nd title in team history. The Thunder left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after 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 Tampa Bay manager Dick Granade. "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 Tampa Bay celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order. "I hope they have a big celebration," Las Vegas manager Julian Riegel said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it." View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
