Fireballs Rally to Nose Past Bowling Green
In a low-scoring tilt between the Joplin Fireballs and the Bowling Green Racers, Ryan Davis, who is tied for 2nd in the TAAA in strikeouts with 145, was the difference-maker. The Joplin right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Matt Schaller picked up the win in relief for Joplin, while Alex Didkowsky took the loss. At 52-87, the Fireballs find themselves in 6th place in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division.

Tom Cray had a direct impact on the outcome. Cray contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Joplin up, 1-0.

"It's a mindset," said Davis. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
