Peoria Dispatched, 7-6, by Joplin
The Joplin Fireballs overcame a good performance by Peoria right fielder Juan Lopez to knock off Peoria, 7-6, at Excavatar Park. Lopez was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. The winning pitcher was Juan Manzanares. He tossed 110 pitches over 6.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits. The loss drops Peoria to 16-7.

Joplin used the hitting of Brian Cranston to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Fireballs on top, 4-3. For the game, Cranston had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Daniel Petro.
