Austin Beats Oakland, 7-5
Matt Fishburn helped his team muscle past the Oakland Invaders, 7-5. In the game, the Austin designated hitter went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Austin reliever Victor Angel picked up the win, raising his record to 3-2. Tom Paolucci was tagged with the loss. Today's win puts Austin at 57-48, while Oakland falls to 63-42.

Austin used the timely hitting of Leo Serna to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Desperados on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Fishburn told the Austin Citizen.
