The Joplin Fireballs trumped the Antioch Coal Miners, 8-3, at The Coal Mine. Joplin third baseman Marcos Tovar was named player of the game for his performance. He went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The first-place Fireballs, at 63-42, now lead their division by 5˝ games.

Tovar had a game-changing single in the top of the eighth. On a 1-2 changeup from Lúcio Barrón, he banged a 2-run single to left-center, giving the Fireballs a 5-3 lead. It was the 60th hit of the year for Tovar.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Joplin manager Chance Jackson.
