Mustangs, Rangers Play 11 to Settle Game 3, Billings Now Leads Series 2-1
With right-hander Santos Jara leading the charge, the Billings Mustangs got past the Texas (Rk+) Rangers, 3-2, in extra innings in Game 3 of the Round 2. Jara threw 6.0 innings of shutout ball at Black Diamonds Ballpark as Billings managed to grab a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Billings used the timely hitting of Jordan Melendez to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Mustangs on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Jara said after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Black Diamonds Ballpark in Mesa.
