Los Angeles Sweeps Seals
It was all about winning for the Los Angeles Angels -- and win they did.

There was nothing fancy in how they went about it, players said, they just prepared mentally and physically and then went out and played baseball.

"We did the little things right and we did the big things right," said left fielder Lou Novikoff, who was named series MVP. "Now we're the league champions."

Los Angeles defeated the San Francisco Seals by a score of 9-3 at Wrigley Field to take the series 4-0.

"Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you make your own luck," said Los Angeles manager Al Borie. "We got lucky a few times, but mostly we did the right things by being prepared for each game and playing the game the way it's meant to be played."
