Utah Defeats California, 9-2
The Utah Scorpions powered past the California Lions, 9-2, at King Coliseum. Ricardo Martínez provided some of the pop. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 3 runs. Utah goes to 54-35. The win puts them 2 games up in their division.

Utah pitcher Michael Cox contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the second. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a run-scoring single. It was his 3rd hit of the season and put the Scorpions ahead, 2-0.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Cox.
