Desperados Hammered by Wahl, Drop Game 4 to Black Aces
The Santa Ana Black Aces defeated the Medford Desperados, 16-7, in Game 4 of the Division Series. Making an impact was catcher Chris Wahl, who was 4-5 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2. The win moves Santa Ana into a 2-2 tie with Medford in the series.

Patrick Gentry chipped in a run-scoring hit-by-pitch for Santa Ana in the top of the fourth. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"We're one game closer to our goal," Santa Ana manager Elias Quesada said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

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