Unicorns Knock Off Desperados, 5-1
Newport starter Matt Bowden put the Medford offense in a vise grip. The left-hander relied heavily on his fastball in leading the Unicorns to a 5-1 win. The save went to Nick Combs, his 1st this season. Newport is now 3-5.

The Unicorns got a big at-bat from left fielder Javier Tapia. For the game, Tapia was 1 for 2 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the second, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Newport a 3-0 lead.

"Matt has got a slow heartbeat," said Newport manager Victor Sepulveda. "He doesn't panic or anything."
