Behind a stellar pitching performance by right-hander Caleb Killian, the Mesa Solar Sox defeated the Surprise Saguaros, 6-0 to win the 2021 Arizona Fall League Championship in a game played on Saturday night at Salt River Fields.
The Solar Sox, whose roster comprises of players from the Cubs, Athletics, Blue Jays, Marlins and Orioles, jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning off of Saguaros starter Jacques Pucheu, who is in the Reds organization. Mesa first baseman Spencer Horwitz (Blue Jays) hit a two-run single and then DH Jonah Bride (Athletics), singled home a third run.
