Fireballs Roll Over Bumblebees, 9-3
The Joplin Fireballs knocked off the Pasadena Bumblebees, 9-3, at The Firepit. Tom Cray was a big reason Joplin won. The second baseman was 3 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Paul Alexander. He tossed 109 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. Picking up the save was 21-year old right-handed pitcher Raul Capetillo.

The Bumblebees had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Fireballs going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old left fielder Bret Hoekstra came to the plate. Hoekstra hit a run-scoring double on a 3-1 fastball from Pasadena hurler George White. It was Hoekstra's 25th double of the year.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said Joplin manager Daniel Petro.

Joplin now sports a record of 48-63.
