The Final is set in the Wheatbelt Baseball League.

The Rycroft Rage earned their spot in the Championship series Wednesday night with a 12-3 win over the Peace River Stampeders in Game 4 of their semi-final series.

Despite trailing 2-1 in the 4th inning, the Rage would score 4 in the 4th, 3 in the 5th, and 4 in the 6th to clinch the series victory in 4 games.
