Desperados Win Squeaker, 6-5, Over Whistlers
The Austin Desperados and the Boston Whistlers played into extra innings before the winner was determined. The Desperados won it, 6-5, in 13 innings. In the game, Austin second baseman Drew Riggi was 3 for 3 with 2 home runs. The first-place Whistlers dropped to 67-54.

Riggi had a game-changing home run in the top of the 13th. On a 1-2 fastball from Ricky Garay, he banged a solo home run to right, giving the Desperados a 6-5 lead. It was the 13th home run of the year for Riggi.

"We had a chance to win," said Boston manager Mike Plocher, "but we didn't get it done."
