Black Bears Fall Short, 5-4, at Joplin
The Joplin Fireballs did just enough to secure a 5-4 victory over the Thunder Bay Black Bears at The Firepit. Nobody did more than pitcher Sergio Jurado, who captured player of the game honors. Jurado went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 4. His record improves to 4-1. Victor Pecina closed the door for Joplin, picking up his 10th save of the year.

The Fireballs grabbed the lead in the bottom of the fourth. With two out, Mike Montero hit a 2-run home run off Rafael Padilla, putting Joplin in front, 3-2. For Montero, it was his 2nd home run of the season.

"We found a way to get it done," Jurado said.

The Black Bears fall to 12-17 and continue their lackluster start to the 2044 season.
