The Albany Firebirds cut down the Joplin Fireballs by the score of 13-5, with the largest share of the credit going to designated hitter Devin Knapp. Knapp belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 5 for the Firebirds. Bill McLean, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 5 innings. The defeat makes Joplin 11-13.

Knapp contributed in the bottom of the third. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Albany get the win.

"It's always fun to score a lot of runs," said Knapp.
