Boston Defeated By Desperados, 6-5
The Austin Desperados picked up a win at Whislters Park, knocking off the Boston Whistlers, 6-5. On the mound for Austin was left-hander Luke Scrimger. He played a key role in the triumph. Austin pitcher Ethan Yarbrough got the win, upping his record to 4-2. Josh Cowels got the loss. The third-place Desperados now sit at 67-52.

Austin took a 6-5 lead on Leo Serna's 18th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Serna hit in the top of the ninth, left Boston pitcher Josh Cowels visibly frustrated.

In postgame comments, Scrimger told the Austin Citizen: "Do people still doubt I give 100 percent?"
