Desperados Win 8-7 Walk-Off
The Medford Desperados defeated the Newport Unicorns, 8-7. Left Fielder John Austin deserved a large share of the credit. Austin was 3-5 with a home run and a triple, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Desperados. Medford pitcher Jesse Alexander earned the win, hiking his record to 1-0. Greg Vanderhoek suffered the loss. The victory makes Medford 9-1, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 2025.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Medford right fielder Garrett Buckner, facing Jose Garcia, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Desperados the 8-7 win.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Newport manager Victor Sepulveda. "But we decided not to take it."
