Mustangs Score Late, Top Cowboys, 9-7
Powered by Paul Sullivan, the Billings Mustangs downed the Calgary Cowboys, 9-7. Sullivan was 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Mustangs. Ernie Nielsen earned the save for Billings, his 14th. At 32-45, the Mustangs claim last place in the TML AAA Cito Gaston League.

Matt Yardley came through with a big-time hit for Billings. The pinch hitter smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 9-7. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"To get where we want to as a team, we all have to do things out of our comfort zone," Yardley told the Billings Observer.
