Freeze Pull Off Thrilling Win in Extras
The Minneapolis Freeze topped the Joplin Fireballs, 4-3, in TMLAAA action at The Ice Box. The player of the game was Minneapolis pitcher Dan Ayers. Joplin's current losing streak is now 5 games.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Arturo Rubalcava came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing Joplin pitcher Victor Pecina, he hit a 0-2 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Minneapolis on top, 4-3.

"It was our day today," Rubalcava told the Minneapolis Times. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
