The Firebirds got a big at-bat from center fielder Ashton Dillon. For the game, Dillon was 1-4 with a home run. In the bottom of the fifth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 24th home run of the season gave Albany a 2-1 lead.

"We didn't string enough hits together to win the game," said tight-lipped Joplin manager Daniel Petro. "Obviously."
