Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pioneer). They blew past the Vanden Vikings 14-4 on Wednesday. That's more bragging rights for the Patriots, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
The team relied heavily on Landon Dahler, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. Pioneer is undefeated when Dahler posts two or more runs, but 2-5 otherwise. Aaron Angulo was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.

Dahler wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Pioneer kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 19 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in April of 2024.
Pioneer is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. Vanden's defeat dropped their record down to 4-7.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Pioneer beat Vanden by a score of 5-0 on Thursday.
