Loons Win Conference Championship Tuesday, October 30th , 2046 Great Lakes designated hitter Jose Robles couldn't hide his reaction when asked about being named MVP of the Conference Championship. "It's a nice honor," he said, failing to suppress a wide smile. The trophy was presented to Robles moments after his club eliminated the Peoria Chiefs to advance to the World Series. Great Lakes won the final game by a score of 5-4 at Dow Diamond and took the series 4-2. "We won the series and that's the main thing," Robles said. "They were a tough team and we didn't want to take anything for granted." For the series, Robles hit .429 with a .529 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, drove in 2 RBI and scored 4 runs. "He was tough to stop and that's a big reason they're there and we're here," said a dejected Peoria manager Evan Longoria. The World Series matchups and schedule will be announced after the Conference Championship finishes. |
