Fireballs Come Back Late to Top Caterpillars
Behind a solid performance from first baseman Tamotsu Yamashita, the Joplin Fireballs defeated the Peoria Caterpillars, 12-10. Yamashita was 4-6 with 4 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Fireballs. Joplin reliever Oliver Cervantes picked up the win, upping his record to 3-1. Hua Tann was saddled with the loss. Balamitra Sriramesh earned the save, his 10th, for the Fireballs.

This game was not decided until late. With no one out in the top of the ninth, Derek Wheeler hit a sacrifice fly. The Fireballs took the lead, 11-10.

Peoria manager Larry Pittman said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score that many runs, you expect to win the game."

With the loss, Peoria sinks to 12-17.
