Sacramento 1938 Nyquist Trophy Series Champions Sunday, October 9th, 1938 With a 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres tonight at Lane Field, the Sacramento Solons wrapped up their 5th title in team history. Sacramento left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Solons celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following the game. "Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Sacramento manager Kurt Peterson. "Our players felt that way all year and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void." A jovial mood filled the air as Sacramento celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works. "We're going to celebrate our team, our championship Sacramento Solons," he said. The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Coast League and a 90-64 record.
