Amazingly, the wild card teams win both divisional series in a sweep.

The Payson Longhorns top the Cottonwood Monsoon 3-0 in the Northern, while the Nogales Apaches beat the Phoenix Dust Devils 3-0 in the Southern.

Payson jumps to a 3-0 lead in the Cactus Champions Cup series, winning 8-5, 3-2 and 6-4. All three games are dramatic.

The 'Horns score four runs in the eighth to win the opener (Whitey Guese is the winning pitcher). Payson then prevails by a run in game two when player-manager Kid Gleason hits a home run in the bottom of the 10th (WP is Ned Garvin). A double by Bill Hallman and a triple by Doc Casey in the top of the ninth give Payson two runs in game three, enough cushion for the two-run win (WP is "Little" Joe Yeager).

Nogales is nearly swept in four but scores five runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Horns 10-9 and stay alive. Jesse "Tanny" Tannehill gets the win from the mound. Whew! Roy "Boy Wonder" Patterson then outduels Garvin for a 3-2 Nogales win in game five. Now we've got a series!

But Yeager pitches a five-hitter in game six to give the Longhorns the first-ever Cactus Champions Cup!!

I'll look back over the box scores and announce the series MVP soon, plus I'll have some other wrap-up stuff from the season (leaders, etc.). Again, if there's something else that someone wants to see (since this is, in a since, an historical replay), let me know...
