Bombers Win Round 2 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 2024, as the Birmingham Bombers topped the Havana Conquistadors 6-5 tonight at Bombers Stadium to win the Round 2. It was the 3rd 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 Birmingham first baseman Andrew Yerzy, who was named series MVP.

The Bombers took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Southern League Boone and a 79-61 record.

Birmingham manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Yerzy's words.

"Andrew 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.
