The rain came, as predicted, but the Sonoma Scorpions and Vermont Milkmen were able to complete their ballgame.

The Sonoma Scorpions dumped the Vermont Milkmen, 13-4, in large part due to center fielder Dave Pimenta. On the day, Pimenta went 3-5 with 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 6 for the Scorpions. Mike Martinez earned the win. Steve Quintero, who is tied for 7th in the W-AA in quality starts with 12, took the loss for Vermont.

With Sonoma leading 2-0 in the top of the fourth, Pimenta hit a fastball from Steve Quintero for a 3-run home run. It was his 18th home run of the season and put the Scorpions ahead, 5-0.

"The key is not trying to do too much," said Pimenta.

The Scorpions bumped their record to 69-56 with this win.
