on, 1 out homer to give the Cavalry the lead. Despite to two run homer to a pinch hitting Donald Lutz in the bottom of the 8th innings, the Cavalry held firm for a 6–8 win. In Game 3, a two homer to Michael Crouse in the top of the 2nd innings was answered by back to back homers by Wade Dutton and Wynton Bernard in the bottom of the 2nd. Solo home runs to Canberra by Cam Warner (3rd innings), Robbie Perkins (4th innings) and David Kandilas (7th innings) would give the Cavalry at 5-3 heading into the bottom of the 7th innings. After striking out in the 5th innings, pinch hitting Donald Lutz would again be instrumental, crushing a 2 on, 1 out home run off J.R. Bunda to give the Bandits the lead. Donald Sutherland and Riley Unroe would follow up with solo homers in the 8th innings to secure the Bandits a place in their fourth straight Championship series. Brisbane faced Perth Heat in the Championship series with Game 1 held in Perth at Harley-Davidson Ballpark. The Heat booked their Championship Series ticket after a 2-1 come-from-behind series win over the Sydney Blue Sox. The Bandits lead early scoring two second-inning runs. However, Perth bounced back immediately and soon found themselves level after Tim Kennelly scored on a passed ball in the third inning before driving in the tying run an inning later. A hopping ball allowed Brisbane to take a lead in the seventh inning before Loek van Mil and Ryan Searle collected the final nine outs to guide the Bandits home. In Game 2, Andrew Campbell, Wade Dutton and TJ Bennett hit home runs for the Bandits, who blew Perth away with a six-run third innings to take an unassailable 8–0 lead. Starter Tim Atherton worked eight innings in another impressive outing, allowing just four runs on seven hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts. The Heat hit four solo home runs to cut into the lead, with Robbie Glendinning going deep twice while Pete Kozma and Chris Clare also homered, but they never really threatened. Atherton was named 2019 the series MVP after allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts.
