McAbee Excels, Joplin Blows Out Billings
The Joplin Fireballs blasted the Billings Mustangs, 22-3. Colby McAbee was one of the hitting stars. He was 2 for 2 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 for Joplin. Joplin is last in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division with a record of 63-74.

Joplin used the clutch hitting of Eric Dyson to capture the win. The second baseman drilled a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to give the Fireballs the lead, 3-2. For the game, Dyson had 1 single and 2 doubles in 3 at-bats.

Said Billings manager Robbie Doyle after the blowout loss: "They did pretty much every facet of the game better than we did and that's why we lost."
