Fireballs Pull Off Thrilling Win in Extras
The Joplin Fireballs beat the Detroit Death Stars, 5-3, in 11 innings. Joplin center fielder Pablo Moreno merited player of the game honors with his performance. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Joplin reliever Pat Kirk picked up the win, bumping his record to 1-0. Lorenzo Ortega was collared with the loss. Tomoyuki Kiyomizu, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 3rd save.

The most important at-bat came in the top of the 11th inning. With no one out, Lorenzo Ortega threw a 1-0 curveball to Moreno, which he hit to right for a run-scoring single. It put Joplin in front, 4-3.

In postgame comments, Moreno said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.

The Death Stars fall to 5-7 and continue their wobbly start to the 2032 season.
