Desperados Get Clutch Win, 3-2
The Austin Desperados earned a close win over the Boston Whistlers, thanks in part to Joe Townsend. The Austin right-hander played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Bob Baucke earned his 30th save in 36 chances. By defeating Boston, the third-place Desperados improved to 58-64.

Leo Serna came through with a big-time hit for Austin. The right fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 3-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Serna.
