The Midwest Mustangs capped a 3-0-1 record Sunday in the 18-under Pittsburg State Baseball Invitational with an 8-5 victory against the Topeka Scrappers at Al Ortolani Field. In the title game, the Mustangs held a 2-1 lead through 4 1/2 innings before a six-run effort in the final two innings broke open the tight game. The Mustangs started the run in the bottom half of the fifth when the first two batters, Brett Sarwinski and Seth Stover, drew back-to-back walks to lead off.
