On a day they didn't have a game, the Cedar Rapids Grapplers clinched the National League South Division title when the St. Louis River Walkers fell to the Springfield Railers 3-2 at Busch Stadium (2006).
The loss left the Grapplers, who are 89-70 with a four-game lead over St. Louis with three games left on the schedule.
Cedar Rapids has stood near the top of the NL South standings most of the season, including a long stretch starting in mid-June which saw it lead by up to seven games.
The Walkers did make a second-half charge, and actually owned a half-game lead on Sept. 18.
But by the end of Sept. 19, the teams were tied again.
The Grapplers then pulled away by going 7-2 over their next nine games, while St. Louis dropped six of nine.
It is the third division title in Grapplers history, their other NL South championships coming in 2021 and 2035. They advanced to the World Series in '35 but lost to the Detroit Diesels.
In the race for home-field advantage in the National League championship series, Cedar Rapids leads NL North co-leaders Milwaukee and Rockford by two games.
Defending World Series champion Columbus, which long ago wrapped up the American League East crown, has already clinched the league's best record by sitting at 99-60.
