Loss to Hens Extends Joplin Losing Streak
Powered by Pat Tufts, the Hendersonville Hens downed the Joplin Fireballs, 8-4. Tufts was 1 for 1 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Hens. Bo Ferguson, the winner, goes to 7-4. He allowed 3 runs on 11 hits, with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts over 8.2 innings. Hendersonville has run its win streak to 5 straight.

Tim Laporte had a big 3-run home run for the Hens in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Hendersonville leading 3-1 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a changeup from 22-year old left-handed pitcher Nate Lefkowitz and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Hens on top, 6-1.

"Obviously," said Joplin manager Daniel Petro, "we're in a tailspin right now."
