Freedom Beat Fireballs, 9-5
The Philadelphia Freedom downed the Joplin Fireballs, 9-5, at The Bell. Jack Zapor led the way, going 3-for-4 for Philadelphia. Masaharu Aoki picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-1. Liu-chun Ren was tagged with the loss. The loss drops Joplin to 11-6.

Had Zapor not come through in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have changed. Instead, with two down, Zapor hit a 2-run single. The Freedom never looked back after taking the 3-2 lead.

Zapor expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
