Loss Diminishes Fine Performance by Heyward
Though he had a stellar game, Rob Heyward could not prevent his team, the Minneapolis Freeze, from losing, 7-6, to the Joplin Fireballs. Heyward was 4-4 with 2 home runs, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Ross Ferry was the winner in relief. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Jason Grant. The loss drops the Freeze to 10-8.

The Fireballs beat the Freeze in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single Jose Ojeda produced in the top of the ninth. Batting against Jason Grant, Ojeda gave his team the lead, 7-6, when he hit a run-scoring single.

Ojeda expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
