2025 MSBL/MABL World Series · Phoenix Metro, Arizona
The Maine Diamond Dogs traveled across the country to claim the 2025 MSBL World Series Father & Son Cactus Division championship with a tightly contested 4–2 victory over the Blue Dogs. For a team from the Northeast making the cross-country journey to Phoenix, the championship represented an extraordinary commitment — and an extraordinary reward.
The 4–2 final was one of the tighter championship scores in the Father & Son divisions, showcasing two clubs that valued pitching and defense alongside family bonds. Maine's pitching staff limited the Blue Dogs to two runs while the Diamond Dogs scored four — enough to claim the title in a game that came down to the wire.
The Father & Son Cactus Division brings together father-son pairs competing in the heat of the Arizona desert, and the Maine Diamond Dogs proved that geography is no barrier to competing for — and winning — a World Series championship. Their 4–2 victory over the Blue Dogs was a family achievement that everyone on the roster will carry for the rest of their lives.
