Ascione Lifts Fireballs to 8-1 Win
Joplin third baseman Chris Ascione helped his team beat the State College Swallowtails, 8-1. Ascione went 2 for 4 for the Fireballs. Ramon Franco, who is tied for 7th in the TAAA in quality starts with 7, was the winner. He's now 5-4. The loser was Robby Welsh. The Fireballs, at 29-44, sit in last place in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division.

With Joplin leading 3-1 in the top of the fifth, Ascione hit a run-scoring single off State College hurler Robby Welsh. It was the 33rd hit of the season for Ascione and put his team ahead, 4-1.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said Joplin skipper Daniel Petro.
