Rangers Win to Tie Series with Mustangs
In a crucial game, the Texas (Rk+) Rangers put on their best show, beating the Billings Mustangs by a final score of 7-5 today. Ben Schutz went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Texas (Rk+) and Billings are now tied at 1 wins apiece in the best-of-5 affair.

Texas (Rk+) used a timely hit from Ian Crook to get the win. The designated hitter delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rangers on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was huge.

Crook said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."

Game 3 is set to be played Monday, September 14th, 2065 at Black Diamonds Ballpark in Mesa. Slated to start are Jaden Beard for Billings and Eduardo Martinez for Texas (Rk+).
