Austin took on Phoenix in front of a lively crowd.

The exploits of shortstop Giovanni Hearn, the 11th overall pick in the 2025 draft, helped the Austin Desperados defeat the Phoenix Gladiators, 6-0. Hearn went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Austin has a record of 74-57, placing them third in the American Conference South Division.

Hearn made an early impact for Austin when he stroked his 13th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which came in the top of the first, put the Desperados on top, 3-0.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Hearn.
