It was a beautiful night for baseball in Edmond, OK. The Pioneers from Stillwater made the haul down I-35 to face the mighty Rangers of Edmond. The game started with a bang as Scott led off with a single. He wasted no time scoring the games first run as the Rangers took the early lead. High, who has struggled of late at the plate, was robbed of a hit. His well struck ball went flaming up the middle only to be stopped by the gut of the pitcher.

Adkins, who started on the mound for the Rangers, penalized the Pioneers for their too careful eye by striking out the side. He would record his fourth strikeout of the game in the second. Cady came in to relieve Adkins in the second inning as Adkins' pitch count grew a little higher than his coaches would like. Cady pitched magnificently for his first outing as he recorded the first strikeout of his young career on his first batter faced.

The bats were relatively quiet for the Rangers until the third inning. They put on a ferocious rally to close the gap to 9-7. The Pioneers just proved to be a little too much for Rangers. A promising step for the Rangers. Their margin of defeat has decreased with each passing game. The Rangers are due to chalk one up in the win column any day now.

Tune in next week when the Rangers face a double header against the Stillwater Eagles at 6:00 and 7:30 right here in beautiful Edmond, OK.

'Til next time...
