Cubs Sweep Spokane Tuesday, September 14th, 1982 With a 9-4 win over the Spokane Indians tonight at Fairgrounds Ballpark, the Tacoma Cubs wrapped up their 2nd title in team history. Tacoma left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Cubs celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following the game. "Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Tacoma manager . "Our players felt that way all year and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void." A jovial mood filled the air as Tacoma celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works. "We're going to celebrate our team, our championship Tacoma Cubs," he said. The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the North and a 85-39 record. View Boxscore |
