Big Day for Johnson as Argonauts Down Fireballs, 13-4
The Astoria Argonauts stormed past the Joplin Fireballs, 13-4, at The Firepit. Astoria second basemanNick Johnson , who is tied for 7th in the TAAA in stolen bases with 16, led the hit parade. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 5. The winning pitcher was 32-year old left-handed pitcher Kyle Thomas. He tossed 115 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. Astoria now sits at 49-57, while Joplin falls to 50-56.

With Astoria leading 2-0 in the top of the second, Johnson hit a sinker from Nate Lefkowitz for a 2-run double. It was his 14th double of the season and put the Argonauts ahead, 4-0.

"Every manager loves to see an offensive outburst from his team," said Astoria skipper Amin Kinsaka.
