Arizona Fall League

Peoria's postseason run came up just short as the Javelinas fell to the No. 2 seed Surprise Saguaros 9-4 in the AFL championship game.

Peoria jumped out in front early and held a 4-0 advantage in the sixth inning. The Javelinas wouldn't score again, however, and the Saguaros delivered a devastating blow with a seven-run eighth inning.

Reds prospect Leo Balcazar finished his strong AFL campaign with a two-hit effort and an RBI in the loss.
