Desperados Score Late, Clip Warlocks, 6-5
Medford beat Waco at Warlocks Grounds, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to first baseman Chris Reese. He went 1 for 2 with a home run and a walk, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. Matt Howe earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 2.2 innings. His record is now 2-0. Angel Alvarez got the save, the 4th for him this season.

Reese had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 1-1 cutter from Daniel Chavez, he banged a grand slam home run to left, giving the Desperados a 6-3 lead. It was the 3rd home run of the year for Reese.

"I felt good up there," said Reese. "I saw the ball well."

The slumping Warlocks have lost 9 straight.
