Mustangs Defeated, 6-4, After Chicago (Rk+) Rallies
The Chicago (Rk+) Cubs cut down the Billings Mustangs by the score of 6-4, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Victor Barraza. Barraza went 1 for 3 with a double and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Cubs. Manuel Morales was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Denes Papadias. With the win, Chicago (Rk+) elevates its record to 5-4.

Chicago (Rk+) left fielder Skyler McGuire contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the eighth. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 11th hit of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 6-4.

McGuire told the Chicago (Rk+) Chronicle: "Sometimes the big stage is not big enough for me."
