Tomich Mashes 2 Homers in 11-4 Minneapolis Win
The Minneapolis Freeze topped the Joplin Fireballs, 11-4, the lion's share of the credit going to first baseman Chris Tomich. On the day, Tomich went 2 for 5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice for the Freeze. Josh Lassiter, the winner, is now 3-1. He struck out 8 and walked 4 over 5.1 innings, while allowing 4 runs on 6 hits. At 42-37, Minneapolis is in third place in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division.

With Minneapolis trailing 4-2 in the bottom of the third, Tomich hit a fastball from Ryan Davis for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Freeze ahead, 5-4.

"I was hoping to make good contact," said Tomich. "I wasn't trying to knock the snot out of it."
