Mustangs Score 14 for 14th Straight Win

Billings has once again managed to extend their winning streak, them atop the North Division second-half standings and in position to fight for the last playoff spot in the North Division. The Mustangs completely dominated Great Falls until the sixth, when Billings had scored 14 unanswered runs, including a three-hit performance by center fielder Mikey Edie and three RBIs by Alejandro Figueredo. Karan Patel had a nice outing, going seven innings strong and allowing two runs with three strikeouts for the Mustangs. The Voyagers' bats woke up in the top of the sixth and reverberated throughout the ninth when Giovanni DiGiacomo brought a runner in with his third hit of the day, but by then the Mustangs were already way out of reach. This series continues on Tuesday at 6:35 PM from Billings. 

Rocky Mountain 13, Grand Junction 5: Vibes Take First Game Against Jackalopes on Night of Broken PBL Records 

Rocky Mountain has taken the first victory in a week-long battle for the title of the South Division in the second half, and now needs two more wins to qualify for the playoffs. The Vibes attacked early and opened a 5-0 lead in the top fourth after a home run by Ethan Lopez, just before Joe Johnson homered to cut the lead to two. Nico Zeglin would leave the game short after, with five innings pitched and three earned runs conceded, but getting nine strikeouts on the way. Rocky Mountain fired back with a homer by Mark Herron Jr., his second in six outings for the Vibes, as he and Jake McMurray achieved three hits on the night while Ron Washington Jr. had three hits for the Jacks. Joe Johnson had five total bases on the game, now totaling 251 for the season and breaking last year's PBL record of 250 by Jayson Newman-Dodd. The Vibes also had a record broken by one of their own, as Jackson Cunningham appeared in his 45th game of the season, breaking Noah McBride's record of 44, also from last season. Stakes will be high for the second game for the series on Tuesday at 6:35 PM from Grand Junction.  

Idaho Falls 6, Glacier 5: Chukars Snap Range Riders' Winning Streak

Glacier will try to bounce back at home on Tuesday at 7:05 PM.
