Freeze Drop Fireballs, 8-6
The 8-6 Minneapolis win over Joplin was due largely to Rob Heyward. The Freeze third baseman went 2-6 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. The first-place Freeze improved to 81-64.

Minneapolis needed the clutch hitting of Josh Flippo to seal the deal. The designated hitter swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Freeze on top, 8-6. For the game, Flippo had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

In postgame comments, Heyward said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
