Power plays were in effect around the Giants system. A Fresno batter set a new power mark while the power went out in Arizona, leaving the rookie Giants in the dark. San Jose powered their way to a blowout win and Augusta used a rally to get ahead in their game. Salem-Keizer stayed on top of the division in a power position. And even though Connecticut lost, they retain the power in their divisional race too. It's all here in Just Another Day in the Minors!

The Giants pulled themselves out of a tailspin in the division to claim the first half crown on the second to last day, on a misplay from the opposing team. It took more than down-to-the-wire desperation and relying on the other team to blink first. San Jose took control thanks to the cornerstones of the team: power hitting prospects and strong pitching.
