The Moose Jaw Miller Express is heading to the finals with a 5-3 victory in the deciding third game of the East Division final in front of more than 1,800 fans at Cairns Field in Saskatoon. The Berries won Game 1, but Moose Jaw rallied with two straight wins to take the series.

Moose Jaw is looking for its first league title since 2002, and will face the two-time defending champions Okotoks Dawgs, who defeated the Sylvan Lake Gulls 10-4 in the West Division championship.

Game 1 of the championship series begins in Okotoks on Thursday.
