Bowling Green Edges Joplin, 5-4
The Bowling Green Racers overcame a pretty good performance by Joplin third baseman Tom Cray, beating the Fireballs, 5-4, at Top of the Hill. Cray went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Mike Kratzer notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. His record now sits at 10-4. With the win, Bowling Green raised its record to 71-69.

Bowling Green took a 5-4 lead on Yohann Martin's 25th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Martin hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Joplin pitcher Steve Saeger visibly frustrated.

Bowling Green manager Ron Jeremy commended his team for exhibiting "no shortage of effort."
