In a tight tilt between the Austin Desperados and the Boston Whistlers, Joe Townsend was the deciding factor. The Austin right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. Picking up his 8th save was three-time All-Star Bob Baucke. The win puts Austin at 24-22 this season.

Matt Blevins, who is the 2nd-best prospect in the Desperados organization, chipped in a 2-run home run for Austin in the bottom of the second. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Blevins, "one at-bat at a time."
