"It was probably the craziest, most unreal way to finish the year. I knew it was gone as soon as I hit it, but I still can't believe it happened."

--Ben Cottrell (from the Telegraph Herald) on his walk-off grand slam in the Prairie League Championship.

Cottrell's epic slam gave the Ramblers a second-straight walk-off win at the Prairie league Championships after having beaten Epworth 2-1 in the semifinals when Dan Spain was hit by a pitch to force in the game-winning run. The Ramblers ended their season at 35-13 overall (.729 win percentage) - the best mark in team history.
