Desperados Rally Late to Nip 23ers
For the home crowd, it was a thrilling walk-off win.

The Austin Desperados downed the Fountain Hills 23ers, 9-8. The hitting star was right fielder Leo Serna. Serna went 3 for 3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks, while scoring 4 times and driving in 3 for the Desperados. With the win, the Desperados sit at 86-62.

The Desperados were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when 28-year old catcher Dave Jimenez landed a big blow. He turned a first pitch slider from Scott Lewis into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the Dell Diamond denizens into a frenzy and sent the Desperados home with a thrilling 9-8 win.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Serna, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
