Ambition Fight for 5-4 Win
The Indianapolis Ambition managed to get by the Joplin Fireballs, 5-4, at The Firepit. Indianapolis pitcher Will Witten set himself apart with his performance. With the win, the Ambition hiked their record to 59-57.

Indianapolis used the timely hitting of Benjamin King to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Ambition on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Will was exceptional and he pitched with a purpose," said Indianapolis manager Zi-jun Gou.
