Outlaws 3, Cali Rangers 0

The Outlaws captured the AA Division Championship in a gritty, defensive battle, outlasting the top-seeded Cali Rangers 3–0 behind stellar pitching and timely late-inning insurance.

The game opened with early offense as the Outlaws plated a run in the top of the 1st. After back-to-back singles by Dom and Marcus D’Anna, Chris Bentz knocked in the game’s first run with a single to left. The Rangers escaped further damage by gunning down a runner at the plate on a perfect throw from left field.

From there, it was a classic pitchers’ duel. Steven Cardenas (Rangers) and Garrett Thierry (Outlaws) matched zeros, each working around base traffic. Cardenas stranded runners in the 2nd and 3rd, while the Rangers left runners in scoring position in five separate innings.

The Rangers had their best chance in the bottom of the 4th, when Ethan Young doubled and advanced to second on a hit-by-pitch. But a clutch 6–4–3 double play by the Outlaws killed the threat.

In the 7th, Cardenas exited and was relieved by Ricky Sotelo, who held the line until the 9th. Unfortunately for the Rangers, errors and wildness opened the door for the Outlaws. After a pickoff attempt sailed into foul territory, a wild pitch and timely hitting led to two more runs, including an RBI single by Craig Tolan and a bases-loaded walk to Louis Enriquez.

The Rangers attempted a rally in the 9th, putting two aboard with two outs, but Bryce Luna went down swinging to end the game and the season.

• 1st Inning (Outlaws): Chris Bentz RBI single to LF — Dom D’Anna scores
• 9th Inning (Outlaws):
• E1 on pickoff allows runner to reach 3rd
• Craig Tolan RBI single
• Wild pitch scores another run
