Hurricanes Win Second Straight World Series
The Miami Hurricanes took their place in history when they captured their second straight World Series after defeating the Golden Gophers 4 games to 1. The Hurricanes were just the second team in history to win back to back World Series, joining the Salt Lake City Bees who won the World Series in 1913 and 1914. They also join a rare club of teams that have won two championship, with the Iowa Hawkeyes the other team winning two championships.
Tad Quinn won the World Series MVP after going 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA in the World Series. While Quinn captured the World Series MVP
Bryan Mietus was 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA in the League Championship and captured the MVP.
As a team that relied on their offense to carry them through the season it was their pitching that got the Hurricanes through the postseason.
It was another disappointing end to the season for
Brad Hort and the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The 34 year old has spent his entire career with Minnesota and 1915 was the first year that the Golden Gophers not only went to the playoffs, but had a winning record. Hort went 18-8 with a 2.03 ERA and 11-8 with a 1.68 ERA this season. Hort did his part in the postseason going 3-1 with a 2.12 ERA, but the Golden Gophers still came up short.
