Freeze Defeat Fireballs, 5-2
The Minneapolis Freeze clipped the Joplin Fireballs, 5-2, in 10 innings at The Firepit. The standout performance belonged to Minneapolis pitcher and San Diego, California, native Matthew Otto. The loss puts Joplin at 0-2.

Minneapolis used a timely hit from Rob Heyward to get the win. The third baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Freeze ahead, 5-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Tough ballgame, tough loss," said Joplin manager Wade Marone.
