Ambition Get Past Joplin, 5-4
Jimmy Cox powered the Indianapolis Ambition to a win over the Joplin Fireballs. The final score was 5-4. The Indianapolis third baseman was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Indianapolis pitcher Mario Vasquez got the win, upping his record to 11-5. Ross Ferry got the loss. Steve Collison converted his 3rd save in 3 tries.

Eli Neff came through with a big-time hit for Indianapolis. The second baseman smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Indianapolis manager Zi-jun Gou was pleased with the team's effort. "It was just a good, gutsy performance by everybody," he said.

The first-place Ambition, at 97-61, lead the TML AAA Joe Torre Division by 7 games.
