Beaches Bedevil Fireballs, 5-4
The Cozumel Beaches beat the Joplin Fireballs, 5-4 -- though it took them 10 innings. Cozumel center fielder Matt Rice had a pretty good game. He was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times. The Beaches have a winning streak of 4 games.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Jim Smart came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Joplin pitcher Danny Riemer, he hit a 0-1 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cozumel on top, 5-4.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Cozumel manager Masato Takagi.
