Scorpions Win, Move to Within 1 Game of World Series
The Sonoma Scorpions moved to within one game of the World Series, downing the Augusta Capitols on the road at The Capitol Dome by a score of 6-4. Scorpions right-hander Steve Oswald had a strong outing. He threw 6.1 innings allowing 4 runs. The win gives the Scorpions a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Sonoma used a well-timed hit by Josh Mahan to capture the win. The catcher socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Scorpions ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Steve is tough when he's hitting his spots," said Sonoma manager Keith Young.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at The Capitol Dome in Augusta.
