In a game full of emotion, both sides knew this game was important. The Denver City Mustangs vs. the Brownfield Cubs may have just become a rivalry in baseball. The Cubs took an early deficit and the Mustangs started red hot. That wasn’t the only thing red hot for either ball club. Emotions started to play a part in the game in the 4th inning. The Cubs were robbed of two runs for, “runner interference”. Those two runs would have made the deficit much more manageable at 8-6. Instead the score was brought back down to 8-4. For the rest of the night both sides stayed heated, even the fans were starting to get a little chippy. In the top of the 6th one Denver City batter threw his bat for the second time after a home run and was ejected, the run counted. Going into the 7th inning the score was 10-6, Cubs down by 4.
