Eugene Wins Explorer Cup Crown
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 2065, as the Eugene Ducks topped the Brooklyn Dodgers 3-1 tonight at Eugene Ballpark to win the Explorer Cup. It was the 4th 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 Eugene right fielder Juan Rivera, who was named series MVP.

The Ducks took the series 4-3. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a third-place finish in the West and a 74-64 record.

Eugene manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Rivera's words.

"Juan 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.
