Gillett Lifts Mustangs to 16-5 Triumph
Mustangs first baseman Nick Gillett put his stamp on his team's 16-5 win over the Washington (Rk+) Nationals. Gillett went 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 3 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for Billings in the contest. The win was credited to 21-year old right-handed pitcher Roberto Romero in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Justin McClellan took the loss. The Mustangs, at 41-28, sit in third place in the North.

Tony Varela drew 1 walk against the Nationals. With the game tied in the top of the eighth inning, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run that put Billings in front, 6-5.

"I hate to be the fly in the ointment," said Varela, "but we could've played better."
