Desperados 11-8 Winners Over St. Catharines
The Santa Rosa Desperados downed the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 11-8, at Engineers Ballpark. Cory Donaghy led the way, going 2-for-4 for Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa reliever Tony Longoria snagged the win, upping his record to 3-0. Etienne Erbetto shouldered the loss. The Desperados now have a record of 47-25.

Joe Zerger had a big 3-run home run for the Desperados in the top of the sixth inning. With Santa Rosa leading 7-5 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Willie Deatrick and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 2nd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Desperados ahead, 10-5.

"Winning is the only thing that really matters," Zerger told the Santa Rosa Daily. "If you can win without even breaking a sweat, more power to you."
