It didn't happen. Heppner lost their 13th game of the year 10-2. Heppner started slowly a gain commiting three errors as three runs were scored in the first inning without a hit. It looked like the Mustangs might be "ten-runned," after four more runs came across the plate in the second. After a scoreless third Heppner scored twice in the fourth, thanks to four singles by Hayes, Hammon, Pedro, and Taylor. The Mustangs would have had a bigger scoring inning if two men hadn't been picked off on controversial calls that could have been alks. Mark Way calmed down and gave up two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth, to finish the game. The Mustangs had six hits, two each by Hayes and Taylor but the Mustangs commited six errors and only five of the runs were earned. "We played better against them this time but made too many mistakes to win," said Mustang Taylor.

Mustangs lose 14th game By TRAVIS HYATT Thanks to fielding errors, three running errors and lack of hitting by the Heppner Mustangs they dropped their 14th game of the season in a 2-1 loss to the Stanfield Tigers last Wednesday at Heppner. The close score might indi cate the game was Heppner's best of the year but it wasn't. Heppner's hitting woes contin ued as they collected only four hits. The lone scoring for Stanfield came in the second inning thanks to a walk and three consecutive errors by Travis Hyatt, Pedro, and Tay lor. The lone run for Heppner came in the fourth inning. Hyatt was leading with a single when three straight walks were issued, with Cord Adams getting the R.B.I New pitcher Scott Ferguson came in to pitch and got three straight outs to end the rally. Tom Hammon pitched his best game of the year allowing four hits and striking out ten. "It's a pity we couldn't have got more runs for Tom. He pitched a heck of a game," said Mustang Jim McConnell. But some costly base running errors might have done it for Heppner. 'Those mistakes hurt us more than anything," said Mark Way of the Heppner team. Cord Adams led Heppner with a two for two perform ance.
