Griffith, Desperados Wallop Golden Gophers in Game 5 of CS
The Medford Desperados have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Little Rock Golden Gophers, winning, 6-2, at Ballpark of Medford. Desperados designated hitter Cody Griffith was 3 for 4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The win cuts the deficit facing the Desperados to 3-2 in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Griffith had a big at-bat with the bases empty in the bottom of the fifth inning, when he hit a triple. The Desperados went on to win.

Medford manager Noah Alexander called it "a good, solid win."

Game 6 is scheduled for Sunday at Little Rock Grounds in Little Rock.
