Kansas City 3, Gary SouthShore 2 (16 Innings) - Box Score

The Kansas City T-Bones clinched the final playoff spot by virtue of Wichita's loss earlier in the day, but the T-Bones went on to add a 16-inning win against the Gary SouthShore RailCats to keep the celebration going.

The RailCats took the early lead with OF Tillman Pugh's (4-for-6) leadoff home run in the bottom of the second inning and Pugh added to the lead with an RBI double in the third. In the sixth, 1B Noah Perio Jr. lifted a sac fly to score 3B Mason Davis (4-for-7) to cut the lead in half and Perio Jr. tied things up with an RBI single in the eighth.

St. Paul 6, Winnipeg 4 - Box Score

The St. Paul Saints kept their North Division title chance alive with a 6-4 win against the Winnipeg Goldeyes.

The Goldeyes tied things up with two runs on an error in the third and RBIs from 1B/C Gavin Stupenski (2-for-3) and RF Josh Romanski (2-for-3) in the fourth.

The Saints pulled away in the seventh and eighth as SS Joey Wong scored on a wild pitch and 1B Zach Walters scored when 2B Trevor Sealey reached on a fielder's choice.
