On Road, Scorpions Top Cavalry, 6-4
The St. Louis Cavalry opened their 2026 season with a disappointing 6-4 loss to the Sonoma Scorpions at Cavalry Ballpark. Center Fielder Dave Pimenta was a big part of the win for Sonoma. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs. Terence Rodda got the win, improving to 1-0. He worked 6.2 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 9 and walking 2. Cory Newton locked down his 1st save.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Nate Springs? The 27-year old second baseman Springs stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put Sonoma up, 6-4. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Sonoma manager Keith Young.
