Saguaros Heading to Regional Championship Series
While it wasn't a complete mismatch, the Mesa Saguaros showed themselves to be the superior team in the Divisional Series, downing the Florence Swordfish 4-1.

"Nothing is ever easy in the Rookie playoffs. Whether you're a favorite or an underdog, you can't take anyone lightly or you'll get burned," said S.D. Sager, who was named series MVP after a standout offensive performance.

Mesa won the final game by a 5-2 count at Goodyear Ballpark to clinch its spot in the next round.

They will hope to once again rely on Sager there, as he hit .412 with 2 home runs, 8 RBI 4 runs scored during the series.

The Regional Championship Series matchups and schedule will be announced after the Divisional Series finishes.
