It was an exciting finish to the Arizona Fall League. Going into the final day of play on Thursday, five of the six teams had a shot at reaching today’s championship game at Scottsdale Stadium. Unfortunately, one of the trio eliminated in the last game was the Salt River Rafters. If they had prevailed in just one of their final three contests, they would have made it, but lost them all, including a two-run blown lead in the 10th inning on Tuesday. The D-backs’ leftie reliever, Gabe Speier, took the L on Thursday, being charged with three runs (two earned) while recording just two outs.
