It's Over! Detroit Defeats St. Louis
The Detroit Pizzas earned their 3rd World Series title and now have all winter to spend basking in the glory, while the beaten St. Louis Archies will have plenty of time to wonder what went wrong.

Detroit became the The Confederation of Baseball Dunces champion for 2048 with a 3-2 triumph to capture the series 4-2.

"Both clubs are talented. We just made fewer mistakes than they did," winning manager Evan Compton said to the press corps at the postgame press conference. "We made the crucial plays and got the timely hits."

St. Louis skipper Terry Schneekloth agreed with that assessment, saying his club turned out to be "a little weak on fundamentals" at crucial times.

"I have a sneaking suspicion we will be working on fundamentals a lot next spring," he said.

On the way to the World Series championship, the Pizzas ended up in second place in the Alliance League Boneheads Division and compiled a 84-78 record during the regular season.
