Giants Even With Desperados After Extra-Innings Win
The Detroit Giants and the Austin Desperados will take the Wildcard Game to a decisive final game. Facing a must-win situation at Dell Diamond, the Giants went into extra innings to beat the hometown Desperados, 5-4, and knot the series at 1-1. Detroit right-hander Jon Haynes threw 8.0 innings of 5-hit ball.

Detroit needed the clutch hitting of Ryan Forsythe to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Giants on top, 5-4. For the game, Forsythe had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It feels a lot better to be tied than to be behind, even if it is only one game," Detroit manager Sean O'Leary said.

The next game is set to be played for Monday, October 4th , 2021 at Ballpark of Detroit in Detroit.
