Almost There: Austin On Cusp of DS Triumph After 13-3 Win
The Austin Desperados moved to within one game of the Championship Series, downing the visiting Halifax Heathens at Dell Diamond by a score of 13-3. Desperados second baseman Paul Ainsworth did some major damage. He was 3-4 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. The win gives the Desperados a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 Divisional Series.

Ainsworth had an important at-bat with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth, when he hit a 2-run double. The Desperados went on to win.

"Things aren't going great right now," Halifax manager David Morris said. "But you don't need me to tell you that."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Dell Diamond in Austin.
