In a crucial game, the Medford Desperados put on their best show, beating the Santa Ana Black Aces by a final score of 8-5. Chris Mitchell was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Medford and Santa Ana are now tied at 2 wins apiece in the best-of-7 affair.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Chris Malone? The Medford designated hitter had a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Desperados on top, 6-5. For the game, Malone had 1 double and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Malone, "one at-bat at a time."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Santa Ana Stadium in Santa Ana.
