Desperados Even With Black Aces After Home Win
The Medford Desperados and the Santa Ana Black Aces will take the Division Series to a decisive 7th game. In a must-win situation, the Desperados beat the Black Aces, 4-2, at Ballpark of Medford to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Medford catcher Jimmy Brewer was 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

Had Brewer not come through in the bottom of the seventh, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Brewer hit a 2-run double. The Desperados took the lead, 4-2, and never looked back.

"It feels a lot better to be tied than to be behind, even if it is only one game," Medford manager Noah Alexander said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Ballpark of Medford in Medford.
