*June 1, 2025 – Herb Field*

The Pittsburgh Mustangs 45 used a relentless offensive attack and solid mound work to overpower the Steel City Prowlers 45 in an 11-3 victory Sunday morning at Etna Field.

From the first pitch, the Mustangs showed they came ready to hit, pounding out 17 hits and driving in 11 runs across eight productive innings. Veteran slugger Joe Kraus led the offensive charge with a perfect 4-for-4 day at the plate, tallying 3 RBIs and setting the tone for a lineup that saw contributions from top to bottom.

Kraus was far from alone in fueling the run parade. JB Cales chipped in two hits and scored twice, while Mike Homer drove in three runs, including a key sac fly that helped extend the lead. Frank Szatkowski, doubling as both pitcher and hitter, also made his presence felt with a 2-for-2 effort and an RBI. The Mustangs’ bats simply never cooled, scoring in six of the first eight innings.

On the hill, the Mustangs' pitching trio was equally effective. Don Black earned the win, tossing four innings of one-run ball, scattering three hits and striking out three without allowing an earned run. He was relieved by Rick Morgan, who allowed two runs over three innings but limited further damage, and Szatkowski closed the door with two perfect innings and one strikeout.

For the Prowlers, the bats couldn’t keep up despite some bright spots. Jeff Porter reached base all three times with two hits and a walk, while Robert Logan drove in two with a double in the fifth. But overall, the team stranded opportunities and failed to score after the fifth inning.

On the mound, Dan Weiss was tagged with the loss after allowing seven runs (only three earned) over five innings. Carey Hughes and Steve Safko followed, surrendering four more runs as the Mustangs continued to apply pressure throughout the game.

With the win, the Mustangs flex their depth and balance, proving that both their offense and pitching staff can carry the load. The Mustangs overall record improved to 1-1.  The Prowlers record fell to 1-1 and will look to regroup as they aim to tighten up their defense and string hits together in their next outing against the Grays.
