Joplin Picks Up Another L
Pitcher John Koch was rock solid in helping the Billings Mustangs beat the Joplin Fireballs, 6-1. The Mustangs now have a mark of 36-63.

Billings used a clutch at-bat from Mark Carrozza to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Mustangs ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"My job is to throw quality pitches, go as deep as I can, and give us an opportunity," said Koch.
