Wood Ducks Win Round 2
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 2044, as the Down East Wood Ducks topped the Salem Red Sox 6-2 tonight at Grainger Stadium to win the Round 2. It was the 6th 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 Down East closer Jake Brown, who was named series MVP.

The Wood Ducks took the series 3-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Southern Division and a 98-42 record.

Down East manager Ryan Bergh grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Brown's words.

"Jake 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.
