Yafeu Helps Swallowtails Defeat Fireballs, 5-4
The State College Swallowtails beat the Joplin Fireballs, 5-4, in part because of left fielder Lewis Yafeu. He went 4 for 4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. State College pitcher Billy Seal earned the win, hiking his record to 3-3. Steve Saeger suffered the loss. With the win, the Swallowtails have a record of 36-37.

Yafeu had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a first pitch fastball from Steve Saeger, he banged a solo home run to right-center, giving the Swallowtails a 5-4 lead. It was the 17th home run of the year for Yafeu.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Joplin manager Daniel Petro.
