Black Bears Sneak By Fireballs, 6-5
The Joplin Fireballs got a sterling performance from pitcher Sean Lapinski, but the Thunder Bay Black Bears still prevailed, 6-5. Lapinski threw 7.1 innings of 3-hit ball. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for Thunder Bay.

Kader Kefentse delivered a big hit for Thunder Bay. The pinch hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Black Bears ahead, 6-3. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"I'm just trying to capitalize on opportunities and be as consistent as I can every day," said Kefentse.
