Blevins, Desperados Too Much for Gladiators
The Austin Desperados defeated the Phoenix Gladiators, 9-4. Left Fielder Matt Blevins deserved a large share of the credit. Blevins went 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Desperados. Joe Townsend got the win, improving to 2-2. He worked 6.1 innings, giving up 2 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. The loss has the Gladiators at 8-14.

Austin used a clutch at-bat from Ramon Dozal to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Desperados ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Dozal.
