Pioneer's game on Tuesday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Thursday. Everything went their way against the Argos Dragons as they made off with a 13-3 win. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won five matchups by ten runs or more so far this season.

Noah Miller was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). He has become a key player for Pioneer: the team is 3-1 when he allows at most three hits, but 4-8 otherwise. Miller was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Eli Guffey, who went 2-for-5 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Pioneer is 4-2 when Guffey posts two or more runs, but 3-7 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Blake Rogers, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.

Pioneer always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .525. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Argos only posted an OBP of .346.
