Fireballs Stick Paczkis with 9-3 Loss
Starting pitcher Nicholas Norman pitched well enough to help the Joplin Fireballs beat the Canton Paczkis by the score of 9-3. Norman, the winner, moves to 1-0. He threw 7.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 2 walks. The win pushes Joplin to a record of 12-13.

It could have been a different outcome for Joplin, had it not been for Sachi Watanabe, the 22-year old shortstop . Watanabe contributed a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the top of the second inning to put Joplin up, 2-0.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Norman.
