Little Rock Wins, 8-7, Over Desperados
The Little Rock Golden Gophers beat the Medford Desperados by a score of 8-7. Little Rock designated hitter Justin Dawson deserved the lion's share of the credit. Dawson slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Golden Gophers. Ronnie Downard, now 11-1, was credited with the win in 0.1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. The defeat makes Medford 88-48.

Little Rock used the timely hitting of Jessie Pegram to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Golden Gophers on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Took some scratching and clawing," said Dawson. "But we got it done."
