Fireballs Lose, 5-4, to Billings
Paul Sullivan was a vital contributor to the 5-4 Billings victory over Joplin. The Mustangs second baseman was 2 for 4 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Santiago Sanchez got the win, improving to 1-0. He worked 6 innings, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 5. Earning his 2nd save of the year was Ernie Nielsen.

Sullivan got the Mustangs off to a quick start. In the top of the first, with a runner on 2nd, he hit a run-scoring single.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Joplin manager Daniel Petro. "But we decided not to take it."

The win has Billings at 2-3.
