First the Knights swept the Sidewinders for the Tee Ball division title. After game one when the Knights blew away the Sidewinders 15-4 they were confident going into game two that they could complete the sweep, but the Sidewinders were looking to hang on to force a decisive game three.

Unfortunately for them, the Knights had other plans and did just enough to win and escaped a game three with the Sidewinders with a 7-6 victory to take the series 2-0.

In the Coach Pitch division the Athletics defeated the Diamondback 13-2 to complete a sweep in their best-of-three game series.
