Grant, Firebirds Too Much for Fireballs
Mike Grant powered the Albany Firebirds to a win over the Joplin Fireballs. The final score was 7-5. The Albany catcher was phenomenal. He stroked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Albany occupies 6th place in the TML AAA Cito Gaston League at 44-60.

With Albany leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Grant hit a changeup from Evan Hamilton for a 2-run home run. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the Firebirds ahead, 3-0.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Joplin manager Daniel Petro.
