Pioneers Unsuccessful in First Meeting with Jamestown

By Anthony La Bonté

ELMIRA,NY—The Jamestown Tarp Skunks would score 16 runs in the first four innings

against the Elmira Pioneers to win 18-7 in the two sides inaugural meeting Sunday at

Historic Dunn Field.

20 hits would get secured by Jamestown, alongside three errors by the Pioneers, that

allowed for the eleven-run victory.

Lukas Rylander (0-1) took the starting role through three before being pulled with seven

runs scored. Thomas Cheplick, Liam Shaut, and Ryan Kristof would all split to finish the

final innings.

Elmira would have multi-hit days by Manny Essley, Trevor Reed, and Tysan Gingerich

to get to eleven hits on the day. However, all seven runs only game in innings four five

and six.

Game two of the doubleheader was postponed due to rain.

The Pioneers fall to 12-13, the first time below .500 since June 7 where they lost to the

Niagara Ironbacks. The Pioneers look to correct the ship when they travel to Olean

Wednesday, July 8, for a game with the Oilers. Thursday is the next home game, with a

contest against the Newark Pilots for “Free T-Shirt Night”. For ticket information call
