It was a hard fought battle for both teams to make it this far.

The Cardinals won their 1st championship after taking the series with the Mariners 4-3.
"They've got grit!" one fan told SION, "They know how to win when they have to. They're the League Champions!"
The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first place finish in the National League Central Division and a 105-57 won-loss record.

Philip Hughes of the St. Louis Cardinals just toyed with the Arizona Diamondbacks today, blanking them 6-0. He was almost untouchable, baffling them on a 3-hit shutout with 5 strikeouts and 1 walk.
"I'm sweating now because it's hot in here," Hughes said in the clubhouse after the game. "But it didn't even feel like I was sweating out there."
One of his teammates said it was easy to play behind him today. "It was like he's just playing with the hitters and doing whatever he wanted to do."
In the 2009 season Hughes has recorded a 21-5 mark. In 36 starts he has fanned 287 batters in 264 innings with a 2.01 ERA.
