Fireballs Win at Astoria, 10-9
The inspired effort of Astoria designated hitter Roberto Torres was not enough to prevent a 10-9 loss to the Joplin Fireballs. Torres was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The Fireballs have now won 4 straight.

Takashi Tsuruta hit a bases-clearing double off Ryouhei Kondo in the top of the first, which put the Fireballs in front, 3-0. In addition to the double, Tsuruta had 2 singles, while going 3 for 5.

Tsuruta said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."
