Mustangs Trounce Fireballs, 10-2
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Billings Mustangs and Joplin Fireballs.

The Joplin Fireballs took it on the chin, losing, 10-2, to the Billings Mustangs. John Felder pitched a strong game for Billings. Joplin is now 2-4.

Billings used a clutch at-bat from Paul Sullivan to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Mustangs ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Joplin manager Daniel Petro called the blowout loss "not what we had in mind."
