Tigers Win 2023 Round 2
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 2023, as the Connecticut Tigers topped the Williamsport Crosscutters 9-6 tonight at Bowman Field to win the Round 2. It was the 2nd 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 Connecticut right fielder Tyrone Hanna, who was named series MVP.

The Tigers took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Stedler Division and a 51-25 record.

Connecticut manager Bo Porter grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Hanna's words.

"Tyrone 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.
