The Amarillo Armadillos thumped the Joplin Fireballs, 8-2, at Armadillos Park. Danny Sullivan was a big reason his team got the win. Sullivan went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. Malik Combs, the 23rd overall pick in the 2062 draft, was the winner. He's now 1-0. The loser was Danny Covington. With the win, Amarillo has a record of 35-45. Joplin falls to 31-48.

Carlos Ayala was 2 for 3 with a double and 2 walks. He scored 2 times for Amarillo. The 22-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring walk off Danny Covington. It was his 24th walk of the season.

"Things went our way," said Sullivan.
