Billings designated hitter Mark Launay played a vital role in his team's 6-4 conquest of Thunder Bay. He was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Billings. Jeremy Hillman, the winner, goes to 8-5. He allowed 4 runs on 9 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts over 7.2 innings. Earning his 15th save for Billings was Ernie Nielsen.

Launay contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Billings in the bottom of the first. With his team trailing 1-0, Launay took a cutter from Grant Warren and stroked the home run to left-center. His 8th home run of the season allowed the Mustangs to leap in front, 2-1.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Launay told the Billings Observer.

The last-place Mustangs bumped their record to 34-50.
