Yeah!!! A Pit Bull breed won!!!

Good grief. Bull terriers are not pit bulls - not even close, in fact! They are miles away in temperament and everything else.

The closest thing to a pit bull in the AKC is the American Staffordshire bull terrier: this dog.

Good grief....do you even know what a pit bull is? It's a moniker for a class of dogs, sometimes also referred to as bullie breeds, they share very similar foundations. There is NO specific dog that is a pit bull, everything from a staffordshire to the American bull terrier are labeled pit bulls...at least in the police reports.
This harkins back to the days when they were referred to "bull and terrier" fighters...dogs pitted against bulls and other dogs. That's one of the problems with their common designation, when you hear a story about a "pitbull attack" they never mention "which" breed was responsible. I understand that the AKC groups them as terriers, and does not refer to any dog as a pit.
