Erik Kent batted in 3 runs to lead Joplin to a win over Memphis. The final score was 8-7. Kent chipped in 1 single and 1 home run. Ramon Franco, the winning pitcher, improved to 6-7. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 6 hits and 6 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 5. Getting the save was Orlando Sanchez, his 10th.

Joplin used a clutch at-bat from Robby Baker to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Fireballs ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Kent.

The Fireballs, at 31-43, sit in last place in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division.
