Taunton Beats Bridgewater, 6-4
The Taunton Brum Bombers defeated the Bridgewater Buccaneers, 6-4, in Massachusetts Independent Baseball League action at Gaels Park. Carlos Pineda pulled his weight. The 9-year veteran was 2-3 with 2 singles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 times. Robert Johnson got the save, the 8th for him this season. Taunton is now 18-23, Bridgewater 19-22.

Taunton used a clutch at-bat from Paul Hanson to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Brum Bombers ahead, 4-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I don't lose sleep over a loss," said Pineda. "But I have better dreams after a win."
