Medford Wins at Home to Take 2-1 Lead in CS
The Medford Desperados got a strong performance from pitcher Darryl Snipes, who stymied the visiting Santa Ana Black Aces en route to a win, 6-1, in Game 3 of the League Championship Series. The Black Aces could never get a bead on the right-handed Snipes, who threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball. The Desperados now hold a 2-1 in the best-of-7 series.

Justin Cottingham chipped in a solo home run for Medford in the bottom of the third. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"Thought I threw pretty well and overall I felt good," said Snipes.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Ballpark of Medford in Medford.
