Oiler Comeback Falls One Run Short
July 26, 2009 by Coach Schoonover
The Powell Pioneers held off the late surge from the Casper Oilers to earn the number one seed in the North District.
Powell Starter Grant Geiser worked a complete game for the Pioneers on the hill to earn the win 6 to 5. Oiler starter Brandon Watson took the loss. He worked four and third innings giving up five earned runs.
The Oiler offense seemed to catch fire late in the game and managed to put up a four spot in the eighth, but it just wasn’t enough as the Pionners held on to win 6 to 5.
Powell will take on the Riverton Raiders and Casper will face the Laramie Rangers at next weeks State Tournament in Rock Springs.
