If Pinnacle was riding high fresh off their 12-2 takedown of Apollo on Saturday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Pioneers took a 7-4 hit to the loss column at the hands of the O'Connor Eagles on Monday. The Pioneers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Eagles apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
Jackson Marazzo made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Matt Smith, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.
Pinnacle has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-10-1 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.8 runs over those games. As for O'Connor, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-6 record this season.
O'Connor wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next game, a 7-2 defeat against Hamilton on the 15th. Hopefully Pinnacle paid attention to the Eagles' matchup: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Eagles at 3:45 p.m. on Thursday.
