The Mt. Vernon Mustangs 13-14 VFW Team dropped their season opener to Parkston by a score of 5-0.  Early walks and errors in the game became too much for the Stangs to climb back out of.  This is a young team, comprised mostly of 13 year olds and it will be fun to watch their progress as the season unfolds because they're a young and talented group.

Up next, the Stangs travel to Freeman on Saturday, June 5 for non-league action.  The 13-14 team plays first at 2:00 pm, followed by the 15-16 game.
