Mustangs Crowned Champions
The Billings Mustangs are champions, today and forever. The Mustangs topped the Grand Junction Rockies 6-5 at Suplizio Field today to claim the Championship Series crown.

"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and catcher Chris Padilla after his club had sealed the victory. "We worked hard and we accomplished our goal."

The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field at the conclusion of the game. Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.

"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said Billings manager Bryan LaHair. "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."

The Mustangs took the series 3-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Oasis Division and a 53-17 record.
