Joplin Loss Tarnishes Fine Game by Kroes
The Peoria Caterpillars withstood a fine game by Joplin right fielder Cooper Kroes at Excavatar Park, to upend the Fireballs, 6-5. Kroes went 3 for 3 with a home run, a triple, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. The win puts the Caterpillars at 31-16, while the Fireballs drop to 20-28.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the seventh, with the game tied, Andy LeBaron was at the plate when Peoria scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Caterpillars to go in front, 6-5.

"We took home the win," said LeBaron. "What's not to like?"
