The Billings Mustangs picked up a win at Ballpark of League City, topping the Oakland (Rk+) Athletics, 4-0. On the mound for Billings was right-hander Ralph Taggart. He played a principal role in the triumph. Rute Dresel notched his 2nd save of the season. Billings is first in the North with a record of 20-12.

Oakland (Rk+) could barely put a dent in Taggart. The right-hander tossed 85 pitches over 6.2 innings for the Mustangs, allowing only 2 hits.

"I was talking to myself on the mound, saying 'attack, attack, attack, stay convicted, no matter what,'" said Taggart.
