Ian Desmond hit a homerun and had 2 RBI as the Williamstown Purple Cows
defeated the Tacoma Rainiers 5 to 3 at SAFECO Field.
 
Williamstown took the lead for good in the 7th inning when they tallied 2 runs
on 3 hits.  The key at-bat was by Desmond who deflated the crowd as he
smashed a two-run homer.  Williamstown had 13 hits for the night while Tacoma
had 10.  
 
Mitch Talbot(6-16) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 innings and allowing
1 run. Talbot was helped out by Kenley Jansen who recorded his 1st save.
Clayton Kershaw(12-8) took the loss.  He got hammered, allowing 13 hits and 3
walks in 9 innings.  
 
Tom Tomlinson was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak of
games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back.  Now maybe we can
relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we are capable.'
