Desperados Pin 7-3 Loss on St. Joseph
Josh Poehlein, who is tied for 8th in the SL1 with a 7.0 K/9 rate, propelled his team to victory over the St. Joseph Mighty Mites. The final score was 7-3, Medford. Poehlein, the winner, moves to 4-4. He threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up no walks. Medford has an impressive 58-29 record.

The Desperados got a big hit from third baseman Lamar Bridges. Facing St. Joseph pitcher Henry Ventura in the bottom of the fifth, Bridges pounded a grand slam home run to left. His 13th home run of the season put the Desperados ahead, 4-1.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Bridges told the Medford Gazette.
