Fort Worth first baseman Jake Tovrea had a good game, even if his team did not. The Cats dropped a 6-4 decision to Joplin at LaGrave Field. Tovrea was 3-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2. Picking up the win was Gordie Woodworth. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits. The right--hander struck out 3 and walked 0. Orlando Sanchez notched his 12th save in 15 chances.

Joplin used the hitting of Matthew Kolenda to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Fireballs on top, 1-0. For the game, Kolenda had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Joplin manager Daniel Petro praised his team's "no BS approach."

Joplin is now 31-44, Fort Worth 31-43.
