The Giants defeated the Mustangs 5-4 on Thursday night in Topeka and then lost to the Mustangs in a 13 inning marathon in St. Joseph. I believe the Mustangs and the Giants are tied for second in the division with 17-11 MINK records. (The St. Joe paper has Topeka in third at 17-11 overall and 17-12 in the league, but that isn't mathematically possible. You can't have more league games than overall games.) Chillicothe won two against the Ozark Generals, giving them sole possession of first place in the North.

The Giants play in Beatrice tonight, then finish the regular season with a three game homestand on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. Tuesday night's game against Chillicothe could be key in deciding the divsion.
