Desperados Rally Late to Nip Royals
The Austin Desperados dealt the Cincinnati Royals a 4-3 loss at Dell Diamond. Dave Jimenez was the star on offense. He was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Joe Townsend claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2.2 innings. His record stands at 8-3. The third-place Desperados have won 4 in a row.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Jimenez hit a cutter from Chase Collins for a run-scoring double. The Desperados, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This game was intense," Jimenez said, postgame.
