At Excavatar Park, the Joplin Fireballs and Peoria Caterpillars were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Peoria Caterpillars picked up a win at Excavatar Park, knocking off the Joplin Fireballs, 7-5. Starting pitcher Dave Kavanagh was a big reason why. Kavanagh picked up the win for Peoria, going 7.1 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 9-3. Mike Kalk earned his 4th save, after closing out the game.

Mitch Barrett had a big 2-run home run for the Caterpillars in the bottom of the seventh inning. With Peoria leading 5-2 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from 21-year old right-handed pitcher Raul Capetillo and punished it. The result was his 17th home run of the season, which put the Caterpillars on top, 7-2.

"I just try to bring what I bring to this team," said Kavanagh.

Peoria occupies third place in the TML AAA Cito Gaston League at 82-69.
