Mustangs Deny Firebirds, 4-3
The Billings Mustangs and Albany Firebirds played an exciting game.

The Billings Mustangs picked up a win at Capital Grounds, dropping the Albany Firebirds, 4-3. Bobby Avila was the difference-maker. In 8 innings, Avila surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 4. He allowed 1 run. Dalton Burgess wrapped it up, recording his 6th save.

Billings used a well-timed hit by George Keller to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Mustangs ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We did enough to win," said Avila.

Their 42-75 record puts the Mustangs last in the TML AAA Cito Gaston League.
