For the Fresno Grizzlies, it was a joyful time; for the San Jose Thorns, it was gloom and doom.

With a 9-6 win at San Jose Grounds, Fresno closed out the championship 4-1 over San Jose.

The Grizzlies have now won their 4th league championship in franchise history. The streets around the Grizzlies' stadium were a mob scene, filling quickly with fans, while banners and flags were held high and waved proudly.

"It's unbelievable for us, our great fans, and all of Fresno," said a smiling owner The owner of the Fresno Grizzlies. "The guys really put their heart and soul into this season and it paid off for them."

In a somewhat somber and dejected Thorns clubhouse, manager said his team "just didn't get the job done."

"The Grizzlies played as good as any team I've seen and deserve to be champions," he said.

The champs finished the regular season 78-62 and claimed second place in the Texas League Western Division.
