Cooperstown Update: Mustangs Stampede Ahead

Mustangs' Horse Power Pulls Team Ahead
By Annie Rivera


What a morning - a cup of coffee, danish and webcam to start the day. On the other end of the viewing monitor was the Placentia Mustangs transmitted LIVE via the internet in Game 7 of their regular pool play from Cooperstown, NY.

Donned in their red home jerseys, the Mustangs faced their California counterparts, the Santa Fe Spring Thunder, to vie for a favorable seed in the ranking system.

Off to a slow start, the Mustangs gave up two runs in the 1st inning behind starting pitcher Ryan Morgan. The two runs was the extent of the SFS Thunder's threat as Morgan composed himself and shut down their offense, with a little help from the Mustangs' defense.

Christopher Rivera started the score-fest with a RBI sac-fly to dead center and played a stellar shortstop making hard grounders thrown to 1st base look routine. Ryan Morgan laid an effective sac bunt to move the runner to third.
