Pioneers Drop Game Two of Series with Red Wings

By Anthony La Bonté

GENEVA, NY— Following a two-run homerun by Jack Aylward in the second inning, the

bats fall cold for the Elmira Pioneers Wednesday in a 10-2 loss to the Geneva Red

Wings at McDonough Park.

The homer from Aylward would be the start to second inning that threw the Pioneers off

their momentum, as in the bottom half of the inning Landen Burch would step onto the

rubber for his final inning of the contest. A pitch that was deemed a no-swing hit by pitch

led to an early exit of the ball game from Burch and Coach Andy Drum.

Kannon Van Duzer (1-1) would enter in relief, throwing four innings before Lukas

Rylander would finish the final two and two-thirds. Nine total runs would cross following

Burch’s departure with Geneva gaining a grand total of seventeen hits in the contest.

Offensively, eleven batters would be left on to end an inning, with two seeing bases

loaded for the Pios followed by the final out of the inning.

The next game for the Pioneers will be a home contest against the Auburn Doubledays
