Bret Hoekstra had a good game, but he could not keep the Joplin Fireballs from falling, 14-13, to the Albany Firebirds at Capital Grounds. The Joplin left fielder went 4-6 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 in the loss. The loss has the Fireballs at 11-11.

Gabe Bourdeau was the walk-off hero for Albany. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Firebirds designated hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Our fans made themselves heard," said Bourdeau.
