AFL Week 6: Tyler Nevin wins the AFL Batting Title, Rafters fall in championship game

Arizona Fall League play wrapped up on Saturday with the championship matchup between the reigning champion Peoria Javelinas and the Salt River Rafters. The Rafters jumped on the Javelinas early, going up 2-0 through four innings, but Justin Lawrence wasn’t able to close out the game. Lawrence entered the game in the bottom of the ninth with the 2-0 lead and left the game tied at 2-2 after giving up a wild pitch followed by a single. In the tenth inning, Braves prospect Braxton Davidson homered off of Nationals prospect Taylor Guilbeau to seal the Javelinas’ repeat.
