Giants over A's, 4-1

The Topeka Golden Giants defeated the visiting Clarinda A's at Falley Field tonight. Giants had 4 runs on 9 hits, A's had one run on 8 hits.

Winning pitcher Kevin Burk threw 8 innings, giving up only one run. Curtis Hamilton pitched the 9th for the save. Giant shortshop Drew Biery hit a solo homerun to left in the bottom of the 4th.

The Giants (5-3) hit the road tomorrow to face the FCA Grays at Kearney, Missouri again at William Jewell at Lake Shawnee!(webcast should be availaible). The Giants return home Wednesday night to face the Mac-N-Seitz Athletics at Falley Field.

Home game tonight?

from the radio link in the post...

The Grays game with Topeka has been switched to a night game at Topeka, starting at 7 pm. We will broadcast the game despite the change in venue, with air time about 6:45.

Good catch EZ. That info wasn't there last night. Must have been a last minute change.

I guess this is part of the excitement of summer collegiate baseball. :-)

Apparently it was supposed to be a 4 p.m. game at William Jewell (not Kearney as I had posted) and was moved due to wet grounds.

It's at Lake Shawnee, not Falley.
