Freeze Get Past Joplin for 4-3 Win
Minneapolis Freeze starter Nate Murray pitched a strong game against the Joplin Fireballs at The Ice Box, leading the Freeze to victory, 4-3. Picking up the save was Franklin Sprague, his 8th. The Freeze improved their record to 52-42 by beating Joplin.

Had Tony Jimenez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Jimenez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Freeze.

"Obviously, you want to go out there and be good every time out," said Murray. "I take the ball every day with the same mindset."
