Caterpillars Deal Fireballs 4-0 Defeat
Pitcher Jon Luciano was sensational for the Peoria Caterpillars in his team's 4-0 triumph over the Joplin Fireballs. Luciano earned the win. Peoria, at 71-82, occupies 6th place in the TML AAA Cito Gaston League.

Jaden White had a big 2-run home run for the Caterpillars in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Peoria leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Paul Alexander, who is tied for 6th in the TAAA in quality starts with 13, and punished it. The result was his 19th home run of the season, which put the Caterpillars on top, 3-0.

"I liked his command," said Peoria manager Scott Andrews. "Jon was throwing strikes."
