Freeze Score Late, Upend Fireballs, 7-5
Two good teams met in a late-season showdown at The Firepit.

Bill Kremer helped his team muscle past the Joplin Fireballs, 7-5. In the game, the Minneapolis first baseman was 3-3 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The first-place Freeze, at 92-65, now lead their division by 2˝ games.

Had Luis Gonzáles not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Gonzáles hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Freeze.

"I believe in our guys," said Minneapolis skipper John Justin. "I like the energy they're playing with."
