Fireballs Need Extra Innings to Top Kodiaks, 4-3
The Joplin Fireballs picked up a win at Foothills Stadium, dropping the Calgary Kodiaks, 4-3, in 13 innings. Danny Covington, who is tied for 9th in the TAAA in holds with 3, was the difference-maker. With the win, Joplin goes to 26-43, while the Kodiaks fall to 34-36.

It could have been a different outcome for Joplin, had it not been for George Durand, the 18-year old catcher . Durand contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the 13th inning to put Joplin up, 4-3.

"We were determined to pick up this win," said Covington.
