Losing Skid Reaches 7 Games for Warlocks
The Medford Desperados picked up a win at Warlocks Grounds, dropping the Waco Warlocks, 4-3. Darryl Snipes, who is tied for 5th in the SL1 in strikeouts with 28, was the difference-maker. Snipes picked up the win for Medford, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 2-2. Matt Howe closed the game out for Medford, earning his 3rd save.

Medford used the timely hitting of Jose Fernandez to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Desperados on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"No one likes losing," said Waco manager Mike Schwartz. "But we'll turn this thing around."

The losing skid has reached 7 games for Waco.
