Matthews, Desperados Take Dramatic Game 3 for 2-1 Series Lead
The Medford Desperados nearly wasted a strong game from starter Marty Matthews, but were saved by some timely hitting in a 10th inning walk-off win over the Santa Ana Black Aces today.

Matthews pitched well in the 2-1 win at Ballpark of Medford. He threw 7.2 innings allowing 1 run. The win allowed Medford to seize a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 Division Series.

Batting in the bottom of the tenth, 22-year old second baseman Greg Wuerfel had a real shot to win the game. Santa Ana pitcher Ryan Martin was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Wuerfel hit a run-scoring single. The Desperados had a walk-off triumph.

"It was a good day but I'm not letting my guard down," Wuerfel said. "I'll let my guard down as soon as someone puts a big, fat championship ring on my finger."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Ballpark of Medford in Medford.
