Medford Tacks 4-2 Loss on Tacoma
The Medford Desperados defeated the Tacoma Thunder Wolves by the score of 4-2, with the biggest share of the credit going to designated hitter Aaron Helgason. Helgason went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk for the Desperados on the day. The loss makes Tacoma 49-66.

Had Nate Raphael not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Raphael hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Desperados.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Helgason told the Medford Herald.
