Gangsters Win at Austin, 6-2
The Austin Desperados went down to defeat to Sam Palacios and his Chicago teammates. The final score was 6-2, in favor of the Gangsters. In 7 innings, Palacios surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. The Gangsters now have a record of 44-79 with the win over Austin.

Chicago won the game in part because of Justin Wish. The left fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Gangsters ahead, 3-1. For the game, Wish had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"I just tried to focus on getting that first guy out every inning," said Palacios.
