Nosediving Thunder Wolves Drop 9th Straight
The Medford Desperados bumped off the Tacoma Thunder Wolves, 8-7, at Thunder Wolves Stadium. Jayden McClendon hit 2 singles and 1 double. He also had 2 RBI. Angel Alvarez closed it out for his 2nd save. Medford, now 15-9, has gotten their season off to a good start.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Chris Reese? The Medford first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Desperados on top, 8-7. For the game, Reese had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said McClendon. "And not try to do too much."
