Watch Royals prospects in today's AFL title game

Mesa and Surprise square off at Scottsdale Stadium at 3 p.m. ET today, with the game broadcast live on MLB Network and MLB.com. It's the first playoff appearance for both clubs since the 2013 championship game, when Mookie Betts drove in a run in a 2-0 Saguaros victory. The Solar Sox last won the AFL title in 2003.

"We are all pretty stoked about playing in the championship," Saguaros outfielder Tanner English (Twins) said. "This is a tough league and to be able to play in this game is a pretty cool opportunity. We are going to go out there, continue to do what we've been doing, have some fun and see if we can win this thing.
