The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the 12th. With Austin trailing 3-2, Hearn jumped on a fastball from fireballing right-hander Angel Morales and hit a grand slam home run to right-center. With one swing, the Desperados had a walk-off win.

"This place was electric at the end," Hearn said.
