New River Wins 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 New River Admirals topped the Cooperstown Cougars 11-8 tonight at Ballpark of New River 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 New River second baseman Dylan O'Rae, who was named series MVP.

The Admirals took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Appalachian League South and a 48-21 record.

New River manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on O'Rae's words.

"Dylan 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.
