Esparza goes 4-for-6 in Raiders Win
The Reno Raiders defeated the Joplin Fireballs, 17-6, at The Firepit. Reno was led by 26-year old catcher Chad Esparza, who went 4 for 6 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The Fireballs, now 39-51, have lost 14 in a row.

Josh Henricks, who is tied for 8th in the TAAA with a .990 OPS, aided the Reno cause with a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the top of the second. For the game, the first baseman went 1 for 5 with a hit by pitch.

Joplin manager Daniel Petro, after yet another defeat, said: "Just different when you have that swimming feeling in your cranium. It's difficult to focus."
