ST. JOSEPH Through the first five seasons of the Jefferson City Renegades’ short history, there were still a few milestones yet to be checked off.
But the Renegades completed the rest of the list in the last week, hosting and winning their first MINK League playoff game, winning their first South Division championship to punch their ticket to their first Championship Series and they capped it off by knocking off the three-time defending champion St. Joseph Mustangs to claim their first league title.
It had been an up-and-down summer for Jefferson City Renegades pitcher Nick Panagos, but he saved his best outing for the perfect moment. Panagos tossed a complete-game shutout Saturday night against the three-time defending MINK League champion St. Joseph Mustangs, sending the Renegades to their first ever MINK League title with a 4-0 victory in Game 3 of the Championship Series at Phil Welch Stadium.

The Jefferson City Renegades were three outs away from their first MINK League title on two occasions, but the St. Joseph Mustangs found a way to prevail Friday night at Phil Welch Stadium. The Renegades led 2-1 headed into the bottom of the ninth, but the Mustangs plated a run to tie it and send the game to extra innings. And again in the 12th inning, Jefferson City led 3-2 before St. Joseph pushed across two runs to pick up a 4-3 walk-off victory in Game 2 of the MINK League Championship Series, setting up a winner-take-all Game 3 at 7 p.m. today.
