The Nevada Griffons are still alive and working their way through the loser's bracket of the 78th Annual NBC World Series in Wichita, Kan. The tournament concludes Saturday, Aug. 11 with the championship.

Yesterday the Griffons beat the Haysville (Kan.) Heat 7-6, and at 5 p.m. Wednesday will play the winner of last night's game between the Hays (Kan.) Larks and the Hutchison (Kan.) Monarchs scheduled for a 10 p.m. start.

Getting to last night's game the Griffons beat the Omaha Strike Zone 5-4 Saturday morning, and on Sunday morning, in a marathon, 16-inning game lasting nearly 4 hours, narrowly beat the San Diego Force 2-1.
