Giants lose to A's, 3-1

The Topeka Golden Giants suffered a frustrating loss to the Clarinda A's tonight, despite excellent pitching performances by A.J. Morris, Max Ellenbecker and Dustin Holthaus. By my unofficial count, only one of the A's three runs was earned. In addition to the 3 Topeka errors, there were numerous close plays which didn't go Topeka's way. This one was lost by inches.

Topeka hits were by Hosey (2), Scott, Monahan, Griffen and Handran. The lone Giants RBI was by Griffen in the 8th. A.J Morris threw another gem, giving up no earned runs in 6 innings of work.

The Giants travel to Chillicothe tomorrow, and return home to face the Bruins on Sunday night. They are now 5-5 overall and 3-5 in the MINK League.
