The Billings Mustangs bandwagon is filling up fast, as the team has moved one step closer to winning a Round 3 championship.

Billings downed the Chicago (Rk+) Cubs 7-4 tonight at Harbingers Ballpark, to take the Round 1 3-1.

"It seems much more real now and we're really starting to realize we've got a great shot at this thing," said Chris Gilmore, who was named series MVP. "When we play our best we're as good as anybody in the Pioneer League."

For the series, Gilmore had 7 hits for .467, with a .500 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, 4 RBI and scored 3 runs.

The Billings Mustangs will play against the Texas (Rk+) Rangers in the next round. Texas (Rk+) won their series against the Missoula Osprey 3 games to 0. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
