The Billings Mustangs defeated the Albany Firebirds by the score of 7-5, with the biggest share of the credit going to catcher Benito Gonzales. Gonzales was 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Mustangs on the day. Reliever Ken Pratt picked up the win. His record improves to 1-2. Jeff Kappel took the loss. The Mustangs go to 32-60, putting them last in the TML AAA Cito Gaston League.

Gonzales had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-0 fastball from Jeff Kappel, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Mustangs a 7-5 lead. It was the 7th home run of the year for Gonzales.

"In this profession, you've got to put the good and the bad behind you quickly," Albany skipper Vicente Vargas said.
