Bumblebees Take Tight Tango, 3-2
In a low-scoring affair between the Pasadena Bumblebees and the Joplin Fireballs, pitcher John Pickens was the difference between victory and defeat. The Pasadena right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-2 Bumblebees win. Pickens picked up the win for Pasadena, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 7-9. The Fireballs have now dropped 7 straight.

Pasadena used the timely hitting of Jon Marcella to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bumblebees on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Joplin manager Daniel Petro said, following the tough loss.
