The Raiders defeated the Dallas Tigers (11-9) in Round 5 to advance to the Championship Game. Histroy was made as there has never been an "All Houston" AABC South Plains Connie Mack Regional Championship Game. Not since 1999, when the Houston Wildcats went to the AABC Connie Mack World Series, has a Houston team won the Connie Mack South Plains Regional and advanced to the AABC Connie Mack World Series. AABC tournament play is Double Elimination with provisions for bye's when there are an odd number of remaining teams and Paring's after Round 3 to assure equality in byes and repeated opponents. All else being equal, winners must play winners and losers must play losers. Teams remain in subsequent rounds until their second lost.
