Arizona baseball: Wildcats alum Shelley Duncan wins Northwest League Championship in first year as manager

There was a point in time before the 2015 Arizona Wildcats baseball season that former Arizona slugger Shelley Duncan was going to be on Andy Lopez' coaching staff, possibly setting him self up as the heir to the throne.

But the Arizona Diamondbacks came knocking, and hired Duncan as the manager of their Short Season affiliate, the Hillsboro Hops.

That move definitely paid off for the organization on Sunday night, as the Hops won the Northwest League Championship.

Hillsboro Hops 2015 NW league Champions!! What a team!!! So happy right now and so proud of this team.
