Pioneer dropped their record down to 15-12 on Tuesday, which also ended the team's four-game streak of wins at home. They lost 12-2 to the Dexter Dreadnaughts. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Pioneers have suffered since April 19th.
As for Dexter, they are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 24-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games.
For Dexter's part, they got a great performance from Andrew Cusick as he tossed five innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits. Cusick has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Dexter let Chance Sobbry and Cole Novara run wild. Sobbry went 2-for-4 with three runs, two doubles, and two RBI, while Novara went 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most runs Sobbry has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Cooper Arnedt, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI.
While Pioneer had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
