Mike Hubbard was the difference-maker for the Astoria Argonauts in what turned into a shootout with the Joplin Fireballs. Hubbard went 3-for-5 in the 15-9 Argonauts win. The win makes Astoria 76-74.

Juan Castaneda hit a 2-run double off Mario Bonilla in the bottom of the sixth, which put the Argonauts in front, 7-5. In addition to the double, Castaneda had 1 single, while going 2 for 2.

"I'm not out there for personal accomplishments," Hubbard told a Astoria Observer reporter after the game. "I'm out there to help the team win, and that's what we did today."
