The Powell Pioneers overcame a slow start to stay alive at the Wyoming state American Legion baseball tournament in Rock Springs. Trailing Cody 5-3 in the fifth inning, the Pioneers scored 12 unanswered runs and rode four scoreless innings of pitching from Scotty Jameson for a 15-5 win.
Jameson entered the game in relief of Colter Bostick, who made his third appearance in as many days on the hill. Jameson picked up the victory in relief. Andrew Young came in to blank Cody in the ninth inning to wrap up the win.
The Pioneers have roughly three hours to rest before trotting back onto the field to face the winner of the Wheatland-Laramie game, which is playing as I write this. I've received conflicting information on whether Laramie is considered Class AA or Class A this season, but it's safe to say that if Powell wins today's 4 p.m. match-up, they will be, at the worst, the Wyoming Class A champion, and the team will be one of just three still in the hunt for the overall state title as well. The loser of today's 4 p.m. contest finishes fourth at this year's state tournament.
