September 20, 1912
The Mesa Spiders played host to the Tempe Bulldogs on a day where they knew they could clinch the Western Conference and their spot in the postseason with a win.
Mesa went into the bottom of the 3rd tied at 1 but exploded for 9 runs in the inning. Tempe did their best to come back but in the end, Mesa proved too strong.
The Spiders held on for a 12-9 victory and the team ran into the field to celebrate being the first team to ever win the Western Conference.
