At the close of the regular season, the Dodgers and Diamondbacks had the best records in the Arizona Complex League. It was only fitting, then, that the two teams would face each other for the title.
The top-seeded Dodgers took game one of the best-of-three series behind a sterling pitching effort led by righty Hyun-Seok Jang. A night later, they finished the job, defeating the D-backs 7-6 on Monday to complete a postseason sweep and take home the ACL crown.
Four Dodgers had multiple hits, including top prospects Joendry Vargas and Eduardo Quintero. Vargas and Mairoshendrick Martinus each homered, as well.

Arizona made a valiant comeback attempt with a pair of runs in the ninth inning to cut Los Angeles’ lead to a lone run. But in the end, righthander Jholbran Herder sealed the deal and put the finishing touches on the Dodgers’ first ACL title since 2018.
In the first round, Arizona topped Texas and Los Angeles downed San Francisco to set up the final matchup.
