Any speculation about whether Laramie was classified as a Class AA or a Class A program at this year's state Legion baseball tournament was rendered moot as the Powell Pioneers led wire-to-wire to register an 11-5 victory on Friday night. With the victory, the Pioneers are your 2009 Class A state champions and remain one of three teams still alive in the quest for an overall state title in Rock Springs.
Colter Bostick, Andrew Young and Grant Geiser each connected for home runs in the contest, the latter two coming during a four-run eighth inning after Laramie had cut the margin back to 7-5. Scotty Jameson didn't allow a Laramie run for better than six innings, by which time the Pioneers had built a 5-0 lead. Jameson's run of 10-2/3 scoreless innings today -- he threw four innings in Powell's morning win over Cody -- came to an end in the seventh as Laramie plated a pair of runs with two outs. Powell immediately recovered the loss and turned the mound over to Geiser in the eighth before handing the reins back to Jameson in the ninth to close out the game.
The Pioneers will play the winner of tonight's Gillette-Cheyenne game at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
