Oaks’ manager David Soliz was asked by CCL Reporter Kirin Costa what this championship meant to him.

“Oh, wow. You know, it means a lot it. Well, we talked to the guys on the first day and, you know, it’s about helping your team win and develop as a player and enjoy your summer.

You know, there’s a lot of people their age on both teams…enjoying their summers at the beach. These guys give up a lot of time, you know, to try to improve themselves as players and so it kind of validates that you know, win or lose. It was a productive summer, but it just means a lot to our team, our staff, our support staff to our management. It just means a lot to the organization.”

The Oaks allowed just two runs in two games.

“Well credit to Brant [Cummings, Manager] and the Crawdads. Brant does a really nice job every year. He has a really nice roster every single year and the quality of play on the other end was, you know, credit to them.

We came out and we had two really good starts, you know with Cole [Fisher] yesterday then Collin today. That helped get us going, and just being a little bit more, you know, consistent on the mound. That’s really what propelled us this is weekend.”

Soliz has managed the Oaks for over 15 years. This is what he had to say about this year’s club.

“This group, we said after the second week amongst coaches, it’s a really fun group to be around. They come early. They put their work, and we do a lot of early work, and they just really enjoy being around each other.”
