Mustangs Nip Fireballs, 2-1
In a low-scoring game between the Billings Mustangs and the Joplin Fireballs, pitcher Rubén Cabrera was masterful on the mound. The Billings right-hander was named the player of the game in Billings's 2-1 win. Cabrera went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5. His record improves to 11-2. Tony Varela earned his 4th save in 4 tries.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the third, with the game tied, Xing-peng Ran was at the plate when Billings scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Mustangs to go in front, 1-0.

"We did just enough to win," Ran said.

The first-place Mustangs, at 59-36, now lead their division by 10 games.
