Niagara Falls Advances to Quarter-Finals Thursday, October 20th , 2044 The Niagara Falls Phantoms took time to celebrate with the Niagara Falls fans who stuck around after the game, following the team's Round 1 triumph over the New Jersey Devils. Members of the Phantoms hung around chatting, high-fiving and taking pictures with the Niagara Falls fans in attendance at Niagara Falls Casino & Resort, long after the last pitch had been thrown in their 2-0 win to seal the series 4-1. "We've got great fan support," said right fielder Jose Lebron. "Whether we're at home or on the road, the fans support us. So we wanted to show them how important that is to us. Some New Jersey fans that were there even congratulated us on the win." For the series, Lebron hit .412 with a .474 on-base percentage. He had 3 home runs, 4 RBI and scored 5 runs. Things weren't so cordial on the Devils side of things. Their clubhouse was closed to media after the game and all players and coaches quickly dressed and left the stadium after the end to their season. The Quarter-Finals matchups and schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes. |
