Gangsters Stumble, Lose to Desperados
The inspired effort of Chicago left fielder Justin Wish was not enough to prevent a loss, 8-4, to the Austin Desperados. Wish went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. Jason Emary got the win, improving to 8-6. He worked 7 innings, giving up 4 runs on 11 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. Bob Baucke got credit for the save for Austin. It was his 23rd of the year.

One big at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of the third inning. Brad Largent hit a run-scoring single off Chicago pitcher Jason Strobel. The Desperados went on to win the game.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Austin manager .

This win makes it 5 in a row for Austin.
