Higgins Lifts Chargers to 12-9 Triumph
A 4-RBI performance from left fielder Justin Higgins, who is tied for 4th in the PRLL in total bases with 120, led the Topeka West Chargers to a win over the Frontance Falcons, 12-9. Topeka West reliever Justin Frane picked up the win. Eric Brushett, who is tied for 8th in the HALL in strikeouts with 37, took the loss for Frontance. Jon Carman closed it out for Topeka West, earning his 8th save.

Topeka West used a clutch at-bat from Will Needleman to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Chargers ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Like I've always said, I'm the straw that stirs the drink," Higgins said (again).

The Chargers, at 28-13, have now won 4 straight.
