Death Stars Lose Late, 4-3
The Detroit Death Stars and Joplin Fireballs provided some drama at The Death Star.

Joplin Fireballs starter Juan Lucero was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Detroit Death Stars, 4-3. Joplin reliever Mauro Durango picked up the win, upping his record to 2-2. Lorenzo Ortega absorbed the loss.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Carlos Molina came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Detroit pitcher Lorenzo Ortega, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Joplin on top, 4-3.

"I made some pitches when I had to," said Lucero.

Joplin is in last place in the Darryl Kile League Joe Torre Division with a record of 50-66.
