Giants Popped by Desperados, 9-4
The 2023 season began for the Detroit Giants with a loss to the Austin Desperados at Ballpark of Detroit. The final score was 9-4. Austin first baseman Jim Sykora had a fine performance.

The Giants had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Desperados going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the three-time All-Star Ramon Dozal came to the plate. Dozal hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 fastball from Detroit hurler Julian Bryant. It was Dozal's 2nd double of the year.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Sykora told the Austin Citizen.
