The Mid-Plains League has completed the regular season with the Topeka Golden Giants finishing 21-8 for first place. The Junction City Brigade finished in second place. The league will now hold a double elimination tournament at Junction City July 16-20.
The winner of the Mid-Plains League Summer Classic will take home the newly named Brett Cowdin Memorial Cup. The cup is named in honor of Cowdin, who was the founder of the Topeka Golden Giants and Rossville Rattlers. Cowdin was also a two-time Kansas High School state championship baseball coach with Topeka West (2003) and Hayden High School (1997). He also coached at Rossville High for several years.
"It was a unanimous decision from the league members that we name the championship trophy after Coach Cowdin," Streeter said. "Without his contributions, this league would not exist. He was a catalyst for getting the league off the ground and we feel it's a great way to honor his legacy."
The tournament starts Wednesday at 4:00 pm as the 5th seeded Topeka Senators take on the 4th seeded Baldwin City Blues. At 7:00, The Rattlers will take on the Midwest As. The complete tourney schedule is as follows:
