Fireballs Earn 10-7 Win Versus Indianapolis
Benefiting from Cooper Kroes's productive game, the Joplin Fireballs downed the Indianapolis Ambition, 10-7. Kroes was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Fireballs. Joplin reliever Rogelio Lopez was credited with the win. His record goes to 2-2. Jesus Sanchez took the loss for Indianapolis. The Fireballs now have a record of 54-63 with the win over Indianapolis.

Joplin took the lead, 8-7, on Brian Cranston's 16th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Cranston hit in the bottom of the seventh, made Indianapolis pitcher Jesus Sanchez wince.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Cranston told the Joplin Citizen. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."
