By Anthony La Bonté

NEWARK, NY—Kannon VanDuzer’s 7.1 innings pitched sets a new career high for the

right-hander, as the Elmira Pioneers picked up a 7-3 victory over the Newark Pilots,

Tuesday, at Colburn Park.

VanDuzer’s original high came in the 2025 season, with the Geneva Red Wings, where

Kannon threw 6.1 innings against the Elmira Pioneers. In the contest with Newark,

VanDuzer threw two strikeouts, and only allowed three earned runs.

William Nee would get his first appearance of the season, on the rubber, throwing just

0.1 innings gaining a strikeout while allowing three baserunners. Sam Watts would enter

in relief and closed out the contest to pick up his first save of season.

The Pioneers bats would light up with 11 hits in the game, with three hits being extra

base hits. Jalyn Tidwell went 2-3 on the day, with a double and a triple with an RBI. Jack

Tubman led the team with two RBI, and Brett Baker reached home twice in the game.

The Pioneers take on the Pilots once again at the Historic Dunn Field, Wednesday, Jun.

10. The game will be on “Free Hilliard T-Shirt Night”, for ticket information call (607)

734-2690.
