Ogden Raptors announce on IG video that they've officially named Ed Campaniello as the team's manager.
Campaniello was the team's hitting coach in 2024-26 and took over for the final 1/3 of the season as interim manager when Evan Parker departed.
Playoff baseball is still playoff baseball, even in the Pioneer League
After two good semifinal series, Billings takes Game 1 of the title series in Long Beach 12-2 on a complete game from Cole Calnon
Two travel days, and series resumes Friday in Billings
Just doing basic scores/schedules for th newspaper at this point and...How does the Pioneer League not have playoff schedules and matchups posted online anywhere (website, X, IG)
Playoff schedule/format page has dates but matchups or times. Main scores/schedule page also nothing
What's the deal with Idaho Falls at Boise? Did it get rained out or delayed start? It's not actually in the 3rd inning is it?
(No updates from either team on IG or X)
I may be wrong about this. This was the rule, I was told, with Cali teams entering the league
But the league's page for playoff schedule says Billings and Long Beach are home teams for the first round
Also, I thought the championship series was best of 5? But is now 3 again?
Raptors drew 5,516 fans tonight on likely the last big crowd, Ogden school night.
Ogden will take the Pioneer League attendance crown for the 28th time in the last 29 seasons
Raptors were up 17-0 after 3 innings tonight...
That lead is now 19-15 in the 7th
Raptors hit 4 homers in the first 2 innings
Glacier hit 5 HR from the 4th-6th
Billings 23
RedPocket 5
- Final -
The Pioneer League's barnstorming team has now lost 39 consecutive games, setting a new historical record for longest losing streak in any level of professional baseball, surpassing the 1923 Muskogee Mets
Just one more run either Sunday or Tuesday would've ended it. Maybe they like making history though. If you can't win a title, set a record.
Seems by far like the likeliest outcome
Which would mean Missoula vs Billings, and Long Beach vs Modesto, in the playoff semifinals
If two Cali teams make the playoffs, they'll play each other first
Glacier needs Knockout to beat RedPocket but they got it done.
37 straight losses
Also Boise scored 36 runs today yeesh
Ballers support has been cool to see. But hopefully the diehards aren't actually upset by not winning the title every year. Some cool points to communicate in here for sure, it's cool they'd do this. But like, hopefully nobody is actually upset over unreasonable expectations
Big week in Pioneer League
RedPocket officially sets a new record for longest known losing streak at any level of professional baseball with 36 straight losses
Missoula has chased down Modesto (who is having to play other teams than RedPocket) and the pair are 29-12 at the top
Modesto won like 16 straight and had a 9 or 10 game lead in the second half... Missoula has cut that to 2 games with 9 games left.
