Largent Stars for Desperados in 8-4 Win
The Austin Desperados powered past the Phoenix Gladiators, 8-4, at Gladiators Ballpark. Brad Largent was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2, to lead the charge. The winning pitcher was 28-year old right-handed pitcher Byron Stanton. He tossed 101 pitches over 7.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. The Desperados are now 76-78.

Austin used a well-timed hit by Jim Sykora to capture the win. The pinch hitter socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Desperados ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 1 at-bat, it was important.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Sykora.
