Medford Earns 7-6 Win
The Medford Desperados weathered an outstanding game by Ottawa second baseman Nick Makar to topple the Lynx, 7-6. Makar hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. At 78-50, the Desperados have a slim two-game lead in the Sub League 1 East Division.

The decisive blow was delivered in the bottom of the ninth when Brandon Coleman hit a solo home run off 20-year old right-handed pitcher Marcos Vasquez to win the game for Medford. The home crowd went wild.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Ottawa manager Nick Boyd. "But we decided not to take it."
