Desperados Drop Whistlers, 7-6
Though he had a terrific game, Willie Kirkham could not prevent his team, the Boston Whistlers, from absorbing a loss. Austin won the game, 7-6. Kirkham slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Austin currently is in third place in the American Conference South Division at 59-65.

Austin designated hitter Tony Martinez landed a blow when he belted a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth. It was his 11th home run of the season. With it, the Desperados took a 6-3 lead.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Martinez, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
