Burlington, VT - The city burns tonight. Its been 43 years since the city of Burlington could lay claim to a champion. The BigEyed fish beat the Reno Aces 7-6 tonight in 12 innings, sweeping the series, 3 games to none. After the final run crossed the plate in the bottom of the 12th, the fans stormed the field and the debauchery began. 41 years of suffering (27 straight losing seasons) were set free. The championship touched off rioting in downtown Burlington that left seven dead, 141 arrested and hundreds injured in celebratory shootings, stabbings and fights, Burlington's city council president said he hoped that the lawlessness wouldn’t further tarnish Burlington's image. "You just have to understand, that's how us Burlingtonian's celebrate a championship!" Oh yeah also CF - Juan Martinez was named series MVP.
