Fireballs Earn 4-3 Win Against Caterpillars
Extra innings were needed to determine a winner at Excavatar Park.

The Peoria Caterpillars could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Kevin Grisham into a win. Instead, the Joplin Fireballs prevailed, 4-3, in 10 innings. Grisham threw 7.2 innings of 4-hit ball. Joplin reliever Matt O'Connor picked up the win, upping his record to 7-8. Mike Kalk was saddled with the loss.

Joplin took a 3-2 lead on Frank Wagner's 20th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Wagner hit in the top of the tenth, left Peoria pitcher Mike Kalk visibly frustrated.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Peoria skipper Scott Andrews.

Joplin, at 62-90, occupies last place in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division.
