The Salt Lake City Trappers clinched the division title in this 1990 game, led by infielder Brian Biggers, The Salt Lake Tribune wrote.

Biggers scored twice, knocked in two and went 3 for 4 on the night, The Tribune wrote.

"It's nice to go 3-for-4 in a game you'll remember for the rest of your life," Biggers told The Tribune afterward.

That season marked Biggers' first season as a pro. He played in one more. He spent both at independent rookie Salt Lake City.

Biggers' career began in 1990, signed by Salt Lake City as a free agent out of Texas State University.

At Texas State, Biggers hit a game-winning grand slam in an April 1990 win.

He then signed with Salt Lake City. He went 2 for 5 in a June win. Overall, he saw 38 games and hit .296.

Biggers returned to Salt Lake City for 1991. He picked up three hits in a July game. He saw 49 games that year and hit .257 to end his career.

Biggers later became an assistant coach at Connors State and at Lamar University
