Heyward Lifts Freeze to 11-7 Triumph
The Minneapolis Freeze topped the Joplin Fireballs, 11-7, the lion's share of the credit going to third baseman Rob Heyward. On the day, Heyward was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice for the Freeze. Minneapolis pitcher Josh Lassiter got the win, upping his record to 5-1. Rogelio Lopez got the loss. Franklin Sprague closed out the game, earning his 9th save.

Heyward had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 2nd in the bottom of the sixth, when he hit a 3-run home run. The Freeze went on to win.

"Getting the win feels nice," said Heyward. "More importantly, I had a good game."

With the win, Minneapolis upped its record to 53-42.
