Fireballs Win, Garcia has 5 RBI
Marco Garcia led Joplin to a win over Cozumel. The final score was 8-5. The Guerra, Dominican Republic native collected 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. The winner in relief was Birru Bagatui. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3.2 innings. He now owns a record of 2-1. The current losing streak for Cozumel has reached 5 games.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Garcia delivered big-time for Joplin, stroking a dramatic 3-run home run off Jack Anthony. The game-changing hit put the Fireballs on top, 8-5.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Garcia told the Joplin Daily News.
