Fireballs Defeat Nationals, 2-1
Joplin and Acadia Park scratched and clawed until someone claimed the prize.

In a low-scoring contest, Joplin pitcher Matt O'Connor was marvelous, enabling his team to nab a 2-1 win in 10 innings. Bill LaForge earned the save for Joplin, his 6th of the year.

Joplin won the game in part because of Tom Cray. The shortstop ripped a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Fireballs ahead, 2-1. For the game, Cray had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"This was a game where every at-bat, every pitch counted," said Cray.

The Fireballs move to 14-24 with the win, while the Nationals drop to 7-31.
