Desperados Pull Off Thrilling 5-4 Win in Extras
The Medford Desperados dealt the Aurora Paints a 5-4 loss in 11 innings at Paints Park. Jake Criscuolo was the star on offense. He went 2-5 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2. Ramiro Rodriguez claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 4 innings. His record stands at 4-1. Angel Alvarez was credited with the save for Medford, his 9th of the season.

Medford used a clutch hit from Garrett Buckner to snatch the win. The center fielder belted a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Desperados ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"Baseball is such a beautiful game," said Criscuolo. "Anything can happen on any night, and that's why you don't dwell on what happened yesterday. Just look forward and trust you're going to have positive results."

The Desperados lead the Sub League 1 East Division by a game.
