Joplin Edges Cacti, 6-5, Navedo Clutch
Behind the hitting of Victor Navedo, the Joplin Fireballs clipped the Albuquerque Cacti, 6-5. Navedo went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Fireballs. Juan Manzanares, the winner, is now 5-3. He struck out 5 and walked 3 over 6.1 innings, while allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. Orlando Sanchez recorded the save, making him 14 for 17.

It could have been a different outcome for Joplin, had it not been for Brian Cranston, the 23-year old shortstop . Cranston contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the third inning to put Joplin up, 2-0.

"Winning never gets dull," said Navedo.

The Fireballs improved their record to 35-46 by beating Albuquerque.
