Regular season ends

Turns out that the Beatrice game originally scheduled for Friday had been rescheduled as part of a previous doubleheader. So that means the Golden Giants 2007 regualr season has come to an end. The Giants' final regular season record is 13-20 overall and 11-19 in the MINK, after a 3-1 loss at FCA last night.

Since the Giants did not secure the MINK league pennant (The Beatrice Bruins are the 2007 MINK League champions.), their only availiable route to the National Baseball Congress World Series would be to secure a bid at the NBC Central Regional. Their first postseason game will be at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday the 22nd in Clarinda.

The road trip continues with a game agaist the FCA Grays tonight in Kearney, MO (7:00 p.m. start). The final game of the regular season will be in Beatrice on Friday night.
