Fireballs Win at Canton, 6-2
Joplin Fireballs starter Al Bates was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Canton Paczkis, 6-2. The first-place Fireballs, at 61-39, now lead their division by 5˝ games.

Jim Bungay, who is tied for 3rd in the DKL in hits with 117, aided the Joplin cause with a run-scoring walk in the top of the second. For the game, the first baseman went 1 for 4 with a double and a walk, while adding 2 RBI.

"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Bates.
