Helgason Pounds 2 Homers in 10-5 Desperados Win
The Medford Desperados handed the Greensboro Naturals a loss at Naturals Grounds. The final score was 10-5. Major production was provided by Aaron Helgason for Medford. In addition to his 1 single and 2 home runs, he scored 2 runs and drove in 4. He also added 1 walk. Jesus Ochoa recorded the save, his 1st. Medford, now 19-4, is setting the league on fire so far.

Medford won the game in part because of John Austin. The left fielder ripped a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Desperados ahead, 4-0. For the game, Austin had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We've got a great group of guys," Austin said, "and we're having fun right now."
