Hernández Goes Wild, But Fireballs Win
Despite a fine performance by catcher Martín Hernández, the Philadelphia Freedom suffered a 9-6 loss to the Joplin Fireballs. Hernández hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. Mack McNeil was the winning pitcher. Over 5.1 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 5 hits, with 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. Balamitra Sriramesh locked down his 11th save.

One important at-bat came with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning. Facing Philadelphia hurler Kalidas Keskar, Abraha Rafiq, who is tied for 2nd in the BCL in doubles with 13, hit a run-scoring single. The Fireballs went on to win.

"Slowly but surely, the wins are piling up," said Rafiq.

The Fireballs, now 22-19, have won 4 in a row.
