6 Straight Wins for Desperados
No one was more impactful than Todd Gordon in the 9-5 Medford win over Tacoma. Gordon went 2 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5. The winner in relief was Keith Price. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 6-1. The loss makes Tacoma 22-35.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Gordon hit a changeup from Jim Unknown for a grand slam home run. The Desperados, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

Said Desperados manager Noah Alexander: "We're playing a good brand of baseball."
