Desperados Need Extra Innings to Top Reapers, 7-5
The Austin Desperados grabbed a win, 7-5, over the Carolina Reapers in 11 innings at Reedy River Stadium. Austin first baseman Drew Riggi was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Austin reliever Joe McLaughlin picked up the win, upping his record to 4-5. Jake Schmitt took the loss. Austin now sits at 64-51, while Carolina falls to 51-64.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 2017 Most Valuable Player Award winner Leo Serna. Serna had a 2-run double in the top of the 11th inning to put the Desperados ahead, 7-5. For the game, Serna had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Riggi.
