Goetz goes 4-for-5, Desperados Move to 93-43
The Medford Desperados topped the Santa Ana Black Aces, 11-5, the lion's share of the credit going to right fielder Mark Goetz. On the day, Goetz was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Desperados. Antonio Rodriguez earned the win to go to 11-5. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, with no walks and 4 strikeouts in 6.2 innings of work. The first-place Desperados, at 93-43, lead the Sub League 1 East Division by 2½ games.

The Desperados ran into trouble in the top of the fifth. The score was 2-1, Medford, with no one out. Santa Ana, with a runner on 1st, had Joe Corcoran at the plate. With a base hit, he could have changed the complexion of the game. Instead, he flied out and the Desperados went on to win.
