I'll try tp be a little more systematic in my posting for future seasons ... still trying to figure out the best way to present the most important info without missing stuff or getting too bogged down in details ... If there is anything folks want to see more details on (specific players, your favorite team, etc.) just let me know ...

1902 Divisional Playoffs

For the second year in a row, the Cottonwood Monsoon won the Northern Division but lost in the first round of the playoffs. This time, the Grand Canyon River Runners did them in 4-2 ... In the South, the Nogales Apaches earned another shot at the Cactus Cup, nipping the Prescott Antelopes four games to three... The Apaches won Game Seven by a 3-0 score, getting a two-hit shutout from Roy Patterson. Prescott did have the best record in baseball this season but couldn't translate that into an Arizona League title...

1902 Cactus Champions Cup

Nogales beats Grand Canyon 4-1

Nogales fell behind 3-0 in last season's Cup series to the Payson Longhorns before finally coming alive to win two straight. Too little too late, and Payson won the inaugural Arizona League championship.

This year, Nogales would not be denied, topping the Grand Canyon River Runners in five games for an easy Cactus Cup victory. There was much celebrating on the border, and rumor has it some of the celebrations spilled into Mexico after the clinching game, with the Tequila running high in many neighborhoods...

Grand Canyon whipped Nogales 8-0 in Game One, but had nothing else in the tank. The River Runners did score five runs in the top of the ninth in Game Two but that wasn't nearly enough in a 10-5 loss. Nogales won Game Three 4-2, Game Four 3-2 (getting the winning run in the top of the ninth) and Game Five 4-2 (getting all four runs in the top of the seventh)...

Hats off to the Apaches!! They just had tough pitching from guys like Jesse Tannehill, Happy Townsend and MVP Roy Patterson. They are setting themselves up as the team to beat in the Southern Division ... Each league now has one title each ...

More to come soon as we wrap up the 1902 season ...
