Fireballs Prevail, 8-6, Over Detroit
The Joplin Fireballs had to overcome a big game from Detroit designated hitter Tomas Robles to leave The Death Star with a 8-6 victory. Robles went 4-4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Joplin reliever Gil Ortiz was the winner. His record is now 1-2. Mike Muller took the loss. Chris Wilson earned his 12th save in 15 chances.

Joplin used the timely hitting of Tanner Handel to capture the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Fireballs on top, 8-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but he made it count.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Joplin skipper Chris Schell.

After today's action, Joplin sits at 68-88, while Detroit falls to 84-73.
