Mustangs Whip Fireballs, 12-1
The Billings Mustangs thumped the Joplin Fireballs, 12-1, at The Firepit. Andrew Valentine was a big reason his team got the win. Valentine went 2-3 with a double and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was 23-year old left-handed pitcher Johnny Parke. He tossed 109 pitches over 5.2 innings, allowing no runs on 4 hits. Robby Rojas recorded the save, his 1st.

With Billings leading 5-0 in the top of the third, Valentine came up to bat against Joplin pitcher Ramon Franco. Valentine hit a sinker to right for a 2-run double. His 3rd double of the season put the Mustangs on top, 7-0.

Joplin manager Wade Marone summed up his team's performance in one word: "Godawful."

The Fireballs, now 9-9, have been consistent this season. Consistently bad.
