Fans who congregated at Dell Diamond were treated to extra-inning drama.

The Oakland Invaders picked up a win at Dell Diamond, downing the Austin Desperados, 4-3, in 10 innings. On the mound for Oakland was right-hander Evan Pullman, who played a pivotal role in the win. Oakland reliever Chris Graham picked up the win, upping his record to 4-5. Chris Oren was saddled with the loss. Chris Brown closed it out for his 14th save.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Ryan Ward? The 25-year old second baseman Ward stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to put Oakland up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Feels good to be on the winning side," said Ward.

The Invaders, at 51-60, sit in second place in the National Conference South Division.
