The Terre Haute Volkers from Indiana captured the MSBL World Series 65-and-over division championship at Maryvale Park in Phoenix this afternoon with a 24-5 victory over the Detroit 65s.
The Tucson Golden Aces lost to the Volkers last Monday in the series opener, 21-11. As it turns out, the Aces ended up scoring the most runs off the Volkers during the seven days of competition.
Enroute to the championship, the Volkers went 7-0 as they also defeated St. Thomas (15-8), New England (14-3), Ohio (8-7), Canada (8-5), and Sacramento in the semi-finals (7-5). The Aces went 1-4 in the series, but they certainly had their chances to produce runs in all five games, especially against the Volkers in Game 1. Congrats to the Volkers on a job well done.
Good try Tucson!
