Fireballs Win Squeaker, 8-7, Over Argonauts
Astoria center fielder Jason Franzoni was sensational. He hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Joplin beat the Argonauts, 8-7, in 10 innings. Joplin reliever Danny Riemer picked up the win, upping his record to 1-4. Allen Justice absorbed the loss. The Fireballs saw their win-loss record go to 42-55. At the same time, the Argonauts fell to 46-52.

Joplin used a timely hit from Bryce Humphrey to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Fireballs ahead, 8-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"The game of baseball will test you," said Daniel Petro, the Joplin skipper. "This one tested us."
