After the game, Pompano Beach Clippers infielder C.J. Alexander was chosen as MVP of the SFCBL Championship series.  "It feels great to win MVP, but it was a team effort to get to this game and win.  Andy (Rivera) pitched outstanding".

Clippers coach Neil Andreoli was so proud of his players, "It's an awesome feeling, especially now being back-to-back champions.  Rivera is normally a reliever but he went out and pitched lights out as a starter when we needed him.  What made this team different from others that I have coached was that they played well together in big spots".
