Mustangs third baseman Roland Brinkman put his stamp on his team's 4-3 win over the Portland Tigers. Brinkman was 3 for 5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 runs for Billings in the contest. Rute Dresel collected his 1st save. Billings has a mark of 9-6 after the win.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Matt Costa? The 21-year old second baseman Costa stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Billings up, 4-3. For the game, he was 3 for 4, including 2 doubles and 1 single.

Brinkman attributed the triumph to "a good team effort."
