Fireballs Win Nail-Biter in 10
The Joplin Fireballs faced a tough opponent in Peoria pitcher Justin Price, but found a way to pull out the victory at Excavatar Park by a final score of 2-1 in 10 innings. Price went 6 innings and allowed no runs. Joplin is now 63-90.

Mike Hess came through with a big-time hit for Joplin. The pinch hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to give his team the lead, 2-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Peoria manager Scott Andrews said, following the tough loss.
