“This is the best feeling in my life,” right fielder Sam Little said on Monday night. “No doubt.”
The over 600 people who witnessed his game-tying home run and heard the sound it made would understand his sentiment. Down 2-0 in the bottom of the ninth, the Cowboys had been flummoxed all night by the Bakersfield pitcher and manager Edison Alvarez. The veteran’s cutters, sliders, and change-ups frustrated Alpine batters, who only had two hits in the first eight innings of game 2 of the Pecos League Championship Series. He also frustrated fans by talking to the umpires more than a regular player would ever be allowed, all while sporting bright blue hair to match his uniform. “There’s something special, not only about this baseball field, this team, this organization, but this entire town,” Cowboys Manager Sean Persky told the crowd during the on-field celebration. “This championship belongs to the people of Alpine.”
