A pleasant start to the day as the Mavericks manages to win the first game of the second division league. The Mellieha rookies started off to score a couple of runs in the top of the first, but the Mustangs had a strong reply scoring 5 runs in both the first and second inning. Finally the game ended up 14-5 in favor of the Mustangs and Clint Francica managed to pitch his first career win.

On a more negative note the Mustangs lose another game against the reigning champions the Mellieha Northenders Reflections Sports Bar & Grill. The Northenders opened up the score in the first inning by scoring one run, but, soon after, the Mustangs replied with another 3 runs of their own. The Mustangs and the Northenders kept battling each other by scoring timely runs up to the 4^th inning having the score 8-5 in favor of the Mustangs.

Eventually the Northenders found a breakthrough and started to take advantage of the Mustangs defence by scoring 5 runs in the 5^th inning, the Mustangs then scored a run of their own ending the inning at 9-10. In the top of the sixth a pitching change was taken place in the Mustangs roster and the Northenders took full advantage of that and the Mustangs defence by scoring 6 runs in the sixth and another 4 runs in the 7^th inning one of which being an inside the park homerun by Keith Bartolo. The Mustangs found one run in the late innings but that wasn’t enough and eventually lost the game 10-20 where Clinton Grima earned himself his first win of the season.

After a hard fought loss last week against the Mellieha Northenders, the Mustangs rallied to an 18-0 win over the Devils.

The Mustangs took advantage of their opposing teams pitcher where he was struggling to find the strike zone and scored 6 runs in the bottom of the first, then the Mustangs scored another 4 runs in the second, and the finished the Devils off in the 3rd after winning by an 18 run mercy rule. The Devils attempted 2 pitching changes in the Bottom of the 3rd inning trying to keep the game alive.

The Mustangs shut their offence down primarily with their pitching in which last year’s Most Valuable Player Kevin Spiteri pitched 3 shut-out innings. Also the Latest addition to the Mustangs Roster, James Simon, continued to impress with an inside the park Home Run.
