Vail parlayed a decent outing from starter Jesus Howell into a solid win over the Sonoma Scorpions. The final score was 3-2. In 8 innings, Howell surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. Robert Hendricks earned his 10th save in 14 chances.

Jason Bailey aided the Vail cause with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth. For the game, the left fielder drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate.

"I didn't leave too many pitches out over the plate," said Howell.

Vail now has a record of 79-60 with the win.
