Seeking the element of surprise, the visiting Mugs jumped on the board in the top of the first inning.  Precisionist Lindsay Lauenstein singled and was immediately followed by tactical specialist Morgan Carter.  Carter inspected the field, then stepped up and delivered a two-run homer to provide the Mugs an early 2-0 advantage.  After surrendering a single run in the bottom half of the inning, the Mug defense stiffened and kept the Weapons in check, preventing them from launching a potentially lethal attack.  Sniper Dave Packer led the charge, zeroing in throws and not letting the Weapons sneak out the back door.  But the game was still tight and Mug evidence showed an insurance run may be needed.  After placing a runner on first with two outs in the top of the fourth, opportunists Sabrina Truesdell and Aaron Ricks kicked key base hits in succession to stretch the Mug’s lead to 3-1.  In the end, the insurance paid off as the Weapon’s offense was only able to push one more run across before they met their demise.

The Mugs will attempt to continue their undefeated season next week when they take on Ball Busters VI.  Game time is set for 8:30pm on Latrobe’s Field 3.
