River City Crowned Champions: With a 5-0 win over the Idaho Falls Chukars tonight at Melaleuca Field, the River City Rumblers wrapped up their 1st title in team history.
River City left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Rumblers celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following the game.
"Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said River City manager Juan Trejo. "Our players felt that way all year and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void."
A jovial mood filled the air as River City celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works.
"We're going to celebrate our team, our championship River City Rumblers," the mayor said.
The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Appalachian League West Division and a 48-20 record.
