Mansfield Mohicans Win Ambassador's Cup
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 2042, as the Mansfield Mohicans topped the Niigata Gigans 3-2 tonight at Sprinters Ballpark to win the Ambassador's Cup. It was the 7th 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 Mansfield right fielder Toshiro Hirose, who was named series MVP.

The Mohicans took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Appalachian Mountain League Central and a 81-59 record.

Mansfield manager Pat Maxwell grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Hirose's words.

"Toshiro 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.
