Phoenix Decked by Chennault, Desperados
The Austin Desperados knocked off the Phoenix Gladiators, 11-2, at Dell Diamond. Joe Chennault was a big reason Austin won. The right fielder hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Austin pitcher Felipe Moreno got the win. He's now 3-1. Moises Cruz was tagged with the loss. The win brings the Desperados to 9-15, an awful start for a team that made the playoffs just last season.

With Austin leading 4-0 in the bottom of the second, Chennault came up to bat against Phoenix pitcher Moises Cruz. Chennault hit a changeup to left for a 3-run home run. His 4th home run of the season put the Desperados on top, 7-0.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Chennault.
