Victory Pushes Fireballs Record to 15-11
The Thunder Bay Black Bears got a superb performance from pitcher Dave Bustos, but the Joplin Fireballs still won the game, 3-1. Bustos was named the player of the game despite the loss. He threw 8 innings of 7-hit ball. The Black Bears fall to 12-16 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2044 season.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the ninth inning, but Victor Pecina didn't flinch. With the bases loaded and Thunder Bay trailing 3-1, Pecina retired Matt McDade to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Pecina, with a wink.
