Mustangs Get Hard-Earned Win
Starting pitcher Chris Wagner was a major factor in the 3-2 Billings Mustangs triumph over the Washington (Rk+) Nationals. The Mustangs move to 44-32 with the win, while the Nationals drop to 40-36.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Billings. That's when 23-year old second baseman Roland Brinkman hit a solo home run off Bill Van Natta to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"Walking a team off at the end -- there's no greater feeling," said Brinkman.
