Mustangs ride over to Great Falls' Centene Staduim

The next long bus trip is to the Magic City! As Billings fans await the team's first home game, the boys of summer are focused on winning on the road - here in Great Falls.

When we (Field Producer Ricky K and I) first arrived at Centene Park, we met up with our Great Falls sister station's weekend sports caster. KRTV's own Greg Smith. The whole news team over at "KR" is very accommodating to our needs as we continue to send reports back to Billings for the Q2 Newscast.

I was able to catch up with Mustangs Manger Julio Garcia after he shopped online for cross-trainers and before the team's pre-game conditioning. We already have an interview with Garcia up on our website.

As we waited with the team for practice to start, the temperature was reaching near 90! Some of the guys that came up from Florida were saying that it was nice (sans the high humidity). Everybody's favorite European-in-Montana weathercaster, Hedi, reported Saturday that we should expect 93 on Sunday and near 100 on Monday.... Summer finially showed up in Montana.

During the game Garcia granted me access the dugout. Now I can show you a new point of view on what it is like to be a Mustang. Kyle was able to grab a shot of me during the second inning.... This will be great for my scrapbooking class.... I mean... show the ladies at the bar.

As with every trip from Helena to Great Falls, I continued an American tradition - taking pictures of landmarks from the windshield of a moving car. Here's a pic of the "Sleeping Giant"
