Fireballs Earn 6-3 Win Against Freeze
The timely hitting of Joe Parry helped the Joplin Fireballs take down the Minneapolis Freeze, 6-3, in 11 innings. Parry was 2-5 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Fireballs. Bill LaForge earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record is now 2-4. Joplin is 5th in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division with a record of 21-31.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 11th. With two out, Parry hit a fastball from Matthew Otto for a 3-run home run. The Fireballs, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This place was rockin'," said Parry.
