Late Heroics Net Desperados 6-3 Win
The Medford Desperados handed the Ottawa Lynx a 6-3 defeat at Ballpark of Medford. Catcher Brandon Coleman starred for Medford. He went 4-4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs. With the win, Medford lifts its record to 10-5.

Medford got a knockout punch from Scott Skidmore. The pinch hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Baseball is such a beautiful game," said Skidmore. "Anything can happen on any night, and that's why you don't dwell on what happened yesterday. Just look forward and trust you're going to have positive results."
