Cottingham Blasts Golden Gophers, Desperados Take Game 3, 10-6
Riding the 2-hit performance of right fielder Justin Cottingham, the Medford Desperados got a road win against the Little Rock Golden Gophers, 10-6, in Game 3 of the Division Series. Cottingham was 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Desperados, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 1.

A key moment came with two out in the top of the second. That's when Cottingham hit a fastball from Willie Trujillo for a 3-run home run, putting Medford up, 3-0.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Medford manager Noah Alexander.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Little Rock Grounds in Little Rock.
