Desperados Hammered by Ramirez, Drop Game 3 to Heathens
With designated hitter Ernesto Ramirez leading the charge, the Halifax Heathens got past the Austin Desperados, 10-8, in extra innings in Game 3 of the Divisional Series. Ramirez went 2-2 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once at Dell Diamond as Halifax managed to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Halifax used a timely hit from Eric Kukowski to get the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Heathens ahead, 10-8. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"This was a nice win for us," said Kukowski. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Dell Diamond in Austin.
