Floundering Thunder Wolves Lose 7th Straight
The Tacoma Thunder Wolves got a sterling performance from pitcher Andy Merrick, but the Medford Desperados still prevailed, 7-6. Merrick threw 8.0 innings allowing 4 runs. Medford reliever Ramiro Rodriguez was the winner. His record is now 2-0. The losing pitcher was Jim Unknown. The losses continue to mount for Tacoma, which has now dropped 7 in a row.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Medford first baseman Ryan Robinson, facing Jim Unknown, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Desperados the 7-6 win.

"Same old, same old, unfortunately," said losing manager Alfonso Estrada.
