Desperados Get Clutch 8-6 Win
Eric Kukowski had a good game, but he could not keep the Halifax Heathens from falling, 8-6, to the Austin Desperados at Dell Diamond. The Halifax right fielder was 2-3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once in the loss. Austin reliever Joe McLaughlin picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Jose Ojeda absorbed the loss. The Heathens, 7-7, continue their so-so start to the 2023 season.

Austin got a knockout punch from Dave Jimenez. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This place was rockin'," said Jimenez.
