The Medford Desperados handed the Newport Unicorns a loss at Chanticleers Ballpark. The final score was 8-2. Cody Griffith was one of the major contributors for Medford. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Medford has 6 straight wins, Newport 12 straight losses.

Tied up with the Unicorns in the top of the fourth inning, the Desperados got a boost from first baseman Chris Reese. With the bases loaded, Reese saw a 1-2 slider from Alex Almanza and hit a 2-run single to break the stalemate and put Medford on top, 4-2.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Medford manager Noah Alexander.
