Critical Game 5 Goes to Host Desperados, 12-5
Medford second baseman Chris Reese was the key at Ballpark of Medford, as he powered the Desperados to victory in a critical Game 5 of the Division Series. The Desperados took the 12-5 win over the Santa Ana Black Aces to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Aaron Helgason hit a run-scoring double off Luis Cortez in the bottom of the sixth, which put the Desperados in front, 2-1. In addition to the double, Helgason had 1 single and 1 walk, while going 2 for 3.

"Every team in baseball loses," Black Aces manager Elias Quesada said. "We're in the playoffs and we still have the same guys that got us here. We'll bounce back."

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, September 17th , 2024 at Santa Ana Stadium in Santa Ana.
