Desperados Topple Unicorns, 8-4
At Chanticleers Ballpark, the Newport Unicorns and Medford Desperados were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Jeff Knisley led Medford to a win over Newport. The final score was 8-4. The right fielder collected 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Josh Poehlein, the winning pitcher, improved to 5-2. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 4 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 2.

With Medford leading 2-0 in the top of the first, Knisley hit a slider from Alex Almanza for a 3-run home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Desperados ahead, 5-0.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Newport manager Victor Sepulveda.

The victory gives Medford a record of 66-44.
