Riding the 3-hit performance of catcher Billy Henry Taylor, the Pittsburgh Alleghenys got a road win against the Buffalo Bisons, 12-8, in Game 3 of the World Championship Series today.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Swartwood.

Alleghenys Beat Bisons in World Championship Series
The Pittsburgh Alleghenys are champions, today and forever. The Alleghenys topped the Buffalo Bisons 8-4 at Riverside Park today to claim the World Championship Series crown.
"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and left fielder Mike Mansell after his club had sealed the victory. "We worked hard and we accomplished our goal."
The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field at the conclusion of the game. Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.
"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said Pittsburgh manager Joe Battin. "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."
The Alleghenys took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the American Association and a 60-38 record.
