Fireballs Overcome Great Performance by Kneip in Win
Bowling Green second baseman Jamie Kneip was sensational. He went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Joplin beat the Racers, 11-9. The winner in relief was Craig Ericson. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 4 innings. He now owns a record of 1-0. Joplin has a record of 26-36, placing them last in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division.

Left Fielder Matthew Kolenda made an impact for Joplin, when he swatted a run-scoring triple off Mike Dorr in the bottom of the fifth. For the contest, Kolenda went 2 for 3 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4.

"We came out with clear minds and swung the bats well," said Joplin manager Daniel Petro.
