Desperados Shut Out Naturals, 5-0
Medford took on Greensboro in front of a lively crowd.

The Medford Desperados topped the Greensboro Naturals, 5-0, in Sub League 1 action at Naturals Grounds. The standout performance belonged to Medford pitcher and Cienfuegos, Cuba, native Antonio Rodriguez. Rodriguez, now 1-1, was the winner. In 5 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 3, walking 2, and allowing no runs. Luis Perez recorded his 2nd save for Medford.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Naji Lahab? The Medford right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Desperados on top, 4-0. For the game, Lahab had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

Lahab said his team "played with determination."

Greensboro is 6-7 after the loss.
