Newport News Defeats Easton
It was all about winning for the Newport News Destroyers -- and win they did.

There was nothing fancy in how they went about it, players said, they just prepared mentally and physically and then went out and played baseball.

"We did the little things right and we did the big things right," said shortstop Jack Mayfield, who was named series MVP. "Now we're the league champions."

Newport News defeated the Easton Grays by a score of 7-3 at Ballpark of Easton to take the series 4-1.

"Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you make your own luck," said Newport News manager . "We got lucky a few times, but mostly we did the right things by being prepared for each game and playing the game the way it's meant to be played."
