Minneapolis Downed, 7-5, by Fireballs
Joplin registered a win at The Ice Box by beating the Minneapolis Freeze, 7-5. Pitcher Gordie Woodworth was one reason why the Fireballs triumphed. Jaime Clayman earned the save, his 3rd, for the Fireballs. Joplin is now 19-27, Minneapolis 23-22.

Joplin used the clutch hitting of Joe Parry to snag the win. The designated hitter drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Fireballs ahead, 7-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Parry told a Joplin Citizen reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
