Owings Mills, MD - The Mustang Softball team celebrated the opening of their new stadium at the Jewish Community Center but they could not grab a win against conference rival Hood College.

It was a day of mixed emotions for the Mustang community. The game was originally pushed back from 1pm to 3pm due to inclement weather but that did not stop the festivities. President Kevin J. Manning was on hand to cut the ribbon at the dedication ceremony and officially open the new Mustang Stadium, the Weinberg-Fine Stadium at the Irvin B. Levinson Baseball Center.

The impressive facilities were the perfect surroundings for an exciting and closely fought game 1 that went to extra innings. The Mustangs went down 2-0 in the first inning but fought back with a run in the 4th and 5th to tie the game. The teams would stay level through seven and it required an extra inning for the Blazers to pull out the 3-2 win. Liz Penniman (Dayton, MD/Glenelg) and Lindsey Mueller (Fallston, MD/Fallston) led the Mustang offense, both going 3-4. In the second game the Mustang offense could not get going, with Hood recording a 6-0 win.

The Mustangs (5-5, 0-2) will be back in action when they face conference rival the University of Mary Washington on Friday 21st March at home, starting at 2pm.
