Sonics Stick Polar Bears with 7-2 Loss
Atlantic City beat Billings at Sonics Ballpark, eking out a 7-2 win. The win was due in large part to pitcher Rob Smith, who earned player of the game honors. The 10th-place Sonics raised their record to 32-43.

Luchino Salimbeni dealt the Polar Bears a blow in the bottom of the second. Batting with a runner on 1st and Atlantic City trailing 2-0, Salimbeni hit a 2-1 fastball for a run-scoring triple.

"I've been criticized for being a slacker, but the one thing I do care about is winning," Smith told the Atlantic City Observer.
