The Eugene Emeralds are proof that you don’t
need to win season games to win a championship.
Last year, despite a losing record, the Ems had one
helluva post-season run. The Ems swept the Hillsboro
Hops (who had a winning record), and beat the
Spokane Indians. How the Ems beat the Indians for
the championship will go down in baseball history. It
was the bottom of the ninth inning with the game tied.
The bases were loaded. Then, the Spokane Indians’
pitcher lost his balance and dropped the baseball — a
balk that meant the third base runner could advance
home. The Ems didn’t win on a glorious home run but
a technicality. But, hey, how you win doesn’t matter as
long as you just win, right? That was so 2018, though.
The “Bad News Ems” are back for another season
at PK Park, the only team at that ballpark that wins
championships.
The Eugene Emeralds has three games at home
against the Hillsboro Hops: 7:05 pm Friday and
Saturday June 14 and 15 and 5:05 pm Sunday, June 16.
Tickets range from $9 to $16. Visit Milb.com/Eugene
for more information. — Henry Houston
