Desperados Hand Santa Ana 7-6 Loss
The home crowd had a good time watching the Santa Ana Black Aces and Medford Desperados get after it.

The Medford Desperados defeated the Santa Ana Black Aces by the score of 7-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Chris Reese. Reese was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Desperados on the day. Medford pitcher Victor Martinez earned the win, hiking his record to 3-1. Ryan McEntyre suffered the loss.

Medford took a 7-6 lead on Ahmed Joiner's 7th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Joiner hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Santa Ana pitcher Ryan McEntyre visibly frustrated.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Joiner said.

The win elevated the Desperados to 55-22.
