AURORA – Mullen beat Overland 15-4 in Centennial League play on a brilliant Saturday at Tony Schenbeck Field.

The Mustangs won their eighth consecutive game to improve to 11-3 overall, 10-3 in league. More important, with league-leading Cherry Creek as well as second-place Cherokee Trail losing on Saturday, Mullen is now tied with CT for second and can tie for the league championship with a victory next week against Arapahoe.

Overland is 1-13, 1-13.

On Saturday, the Mustangs used four pitches, banged out 15 hits and capped it with a seven-run seventh inning.

Andrew Brady topped the team with three hits, including a double and triple. Colin MacKenzie and Ben Hawes also each tripled. MacKenzie, Trevor Moore, Henry Stewart and Andres Terrones-Garcia each had two hits, and Stewart (four), Hawes (three), and Brady, MacKenzie and Terrones-Garcia,  (two apiece) paced the runs-batted-in parade.

On the mound, starter Kyle Muhal earned the victory.

As the Mustangs enter the final week of the regular season, they will be at Legacy in Broomfield in nonleague on Tuesday, June 8, 3 p.m., and home at Bill Swift Field against Arapahoe in league on Thursday, June 10, 4:15 p.m., to cap the regular season.

The Mustangs are bidding to be a host for initial rounds of the postseason.
