Invaders Get Clutch Win Versus Austin
The Oakland Invaders got a hard-earned win over the Austin Desperados, 8-7, in 11 innings. Mitch Jarka provided some offensive muscle for Oakland. He went 3 for 5 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Oakland is now 52-60, while Austin is 52-60.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Jarka delivered big-time for Oakland, stroking a dramatic solo home run off Bob Baucke. The game-changing hit put the Invaders on top, 8-7.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Jarka. "And not try to do too much."
