Joplin Falters Again, Loses, 13-4, to Indianapolis
The Indianapolis Ambition captured an easy win, 13-4, over the Joplin Fireballs at The Firepit. Nick Schroeder led the offensive barrage, going 2-for-5 for Indianapolis. The second-place Ambition have won 4 consecutive games.

Indianapolis used a clutch at-bat from Tom Ronca to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Ambition ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Every time I go up there, I try and hit a ball hard," said Schroeder.
