Fireballs designated hitter Jamari Muse left his mark on his team's 6-5 win over the Indianapolis Ambition. Muse was 2 for 3 with 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Joplin in the contest. Orlando Sanchez notched his 20th save in 25 chances. After today's action, Joplin sits at 53-63; Indianapolis slips to 58-56.

"In this profession, you've got to put the good and the bad behind you quickly," Indianapolis skipper Zi-jun Gou said.
