WAHOOS REPEAT AS WPF CHAMPS WITH 8-2 WIN OVER DIAMONDS Alleah Poulson was named series MVP Saturday, Sept. 5th   GASTONIA, N.C. - Orlando Wahoos' first baseman Alleah Poulson picked up the series MVP by smacking 2 homeruns and leading the defending WPF Champions to their second consecutive league title with a 8-2 victory over Carolina. Poulson picked up 6-RBI's to give her 8 for the two games. She went 5-for-7 for the series. Crystl Bustos had 2-hits and 2-runs, Rashunda Taylor had 1-hit and scored once and Angie Jacobs and Tobin Echo-Hawk each had a hit a piece to lead Orlando at the plate. It was just the offense explosion that the Wahoos would need to quiet to home crowd at Sims Legion Park in Gastonia, North Carolina and bring the trophy back home to Central Florida. Debbie Doom (10-1) picked up the win for Orlando at the plate leaving the game after 6-innings and the Wahoos with a 8-1 lead. Kaci Clark (23-12), winner in Orlando's 8-0 victory in Game 1 on Friday night, came in to finish off the Diamonds giving up 1 run in the seventh. Doom, who has been plagued by a nagging shoulder injury all season, was grateful for the offensive display of her teammates. "I just didn't have my best stuff today, but we scored a lot of runs and that helped." Doom gave up 6-hits, 2-runs and struck out four batters. Clark gave up 2-hits and struck out one in relief. Wahoos coach Sharron Backus, who was selected as WPF Coach of the Year, can now add a WPF title to go along with eight college championships that she collected during her career at UCLA. "I just feel so pleased and happy for the kids," said Backus after Saturday's victory. "They wanted to win so bad and it's difficult sometimes when you're coming from the winner's bracket position. You start thinking about other things instead of focusing on the game." On Saturday evening, the Wahoos were only thinking about maintaining the distinction of being the only team to ever win a WPF Championship. ESPN2 will be televising a tape-delayed version of Saturday's game on Monday night at 8:00 p.m. by Rich Charron Active Mind, Inc.
