Unicorns Earn 9-8 Win Versus Desperados
The Medford Desperados got a sterling performance from center fielder Jarrod LaCasse, but the Newport Unicorns still prevailed, 9-8. LaCasse went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Newport reliever Carlos Palmas was the winner. His record is now 2-3. The losing pitcher was Angel Alvarez. The Unicorns improved their record to 36-40 with the win over Medford.

Newport used the timely hitting of Mario Alvarez to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Unicorns on top, 9-8. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Alvarez.
