Booze Hounds Complete Record Season With TBA Championship Victory

After 125 wins in the regular season, the Booze Hounds were expected to breeze through the playoffs to pick up their trophy.

It didn't come quite as easy as they had hoped but in the end the Washington Booze Hounds still stand on top of the TBA.

The Booze Hounds completed an historic season with a 7-3 win over the Vero Beach Bums in Game 6 of the TBA Championship to capture the 2nd annual Hello Kitty Cup four games to two.

Regular Season LHL MVP Troy Tulowitzki completed the MVP sweep by being selected series MVP as well. The 25 year old shortstop hammered five homeruns in the six game series while driving in seven, scoring seven runs and batting .435 (10-23).

"Being able to watch this guy since I got over here; he's just been phenomenal," right-hander Chris Carpenter said. "Certainly no one in baseball is better than Troy right now."

Carpenter himself also deserves praise for his two games against Vero Beach. He went eight innings in both of starts, striking out 13 and only walking three to win both games, including a crucial Game 5.

Washington dominated during the playoffs, just as they had all season long. They scored 5 runs per game while allowing only 2.69 in the post-season; all against the TBAs best. In fact, they let up more runs per game during the regular season at 3.56.

Booze Hounds owner and manager Joe Potts went all out for a championship this year and the hard work payed off.

Potts was modest after Game 6 saying, "It was a fun World Series. It could have easily been over in [Vero Beach's] favor in 5 games."


After receiving the Hello Kitty Cup, Potts joked, "If there's a way to drink beer out of it, I will find it!"

But Potts' hard work is not over. With one championship season in the books, Potts has already begun working towards next year. The quest for a repeat begins...
