Argonauts Rally to Win, 7-6
Joplin shortstop Brian Cranston had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 7-6, to Astoria in 13 innings. Cranston went 4-6 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. At 19-24, the Argonauts are currently 4th in the TML AAA Cito Gaston League.

In the bottom of the 13th, Chris Black knew he could end it with one good swing of the bat. And he did, hitting a 2-run single off Joplin pitcher Jaime Clayman.

"The crowd was raucous," said Black.
