Austin on Fire: 5-for-6 for Austin
John Austin of the Desperados was unstoppable in his team's 16-6 victory over the Chicago Gangsters at Dell Diamond. He battered them for 5 hits in 6 at-bats.

"Boy, I was on the mark today," said the Austin center fielder after the game. "I could see the ball real well. It's a great feeling to do this. And besides, 5-for-6 won't hurt your batting average like 0-for-5 will."

John Austin singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and flied out in the 8th.

In 40 games this season, Austin is batting .278 with 45 hits and 2 home runs. He has scored 32 runs and driven in 20.
