Reed Austin got the Cats on the board in the second inning as he belted his 3rd home run of the playoffs. Although Travis Steinheiser held the Mustangs scoreless for 2 innings, Sunrise Mountain’s potent bats came alive in the third, as they rallied from a four-run deficit to move ahead 6-4 through four innings. Saguaro got a run back on Kyle Young's double in the top of the fifth, but still trailed 6-5 with only six outs remaining. The Sabercats then tied it in the top of the sixth when Andrew Valdez scored on a passed ball that squirted just a few feet away from Sunrise Mountain catcher. The Sabercats then pulled away, scoring seven runs in the top of the frame to lay claim to the second straight title. Chris Akmon singled in Zach Gibbons for the go-ahead run, and Matt Morris dropped the big blow with a bases loaded three-run triple for a four-run lead. Left-hander Chris Freudenberg got the win by allowing only one run in 3 1/3 innings of relief. Zach Gibbons went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBIs, two runs scored and a pair of stolen bases for Saguaro, reaching base in four of his five plate appearances.

Austin Anderson had a double and two singles (2 RBIs), and Zach Gibbons and Andrew Valdez (2 RBIs) had two hits each for the Sabercats .   Alan Madsen was the starting pitcher going 3+ innings. Turner Lace came in relief in the 4th, and Kyle Young pitched a solid 6th inning. The Wolve's hit what looked like to be a walk off homerun in the bottom of the 7th, but the umpires declared the Wolves hitter out because the Desert Mountain team rushed the field and made contact with him while he was rounding the bases. The game was officially ruled a tie. UPDATE: Desert Mtn. appealed the umpires decision with the AIA. The AIA ruled in favor of Desert Mtn.
