 4-4 area baseball teams, the journey of the state championship Monday at Target Field begins today. In Class 2A, high expectations for the three seed peers, pioneers. Second straight trip looking to improve off last year's third place finish. They open up with New London Spicer, pioneers threatening right away in the first. Preston Rochelieu, base hit here, runner waved home from second. There's going to be a play at the plate, but to get him, we're still scoreless after one. But after the Wildcats get on the board, we go to the fourth. Wyatt White adds to the lead. Solo shot is gone and left. Two Zip and London Spicer, but all peers after that. Following the lead off triple, Matt Cumbick gets the job done with a sack fly. Pioneer scores six unanswered to take the lead. They would go on to win this one 6-2. They will play in the semifinals tomorrow against Duluth Marshall at 2.30 at Dick Putts Field.
