Mustangs Roast Fireballs, 13-1
The Billings Mustangs handed the Joplin Fireballs a loss at Cobb Field. The final score was 13-1. Major production was provided by Mark Greenwood for Billings. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 3 runs and drove in 2. He also added 1 walk. Billings, with the win, sits at 19-50.

Eric Blanchard had a big bases-clearing double for the Mustangs in the bottom of the third inning. With Billings leading 2-0 and the bases loaded, he got a slider from Ryan Davis, who is tied for 3rd in the TAAA in innings pitched with 93.1, and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 12th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mustangs ahead, 5-0.

"They beat us like the proverbial rented mule," said losing manager Daniel Petro.
