Western<\/a> is 1-9 against Anaheim<\/a> since April of 2021 but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Wednesday. The Pioneers are taking a road trip to square off against the Colonists at 10:00 a.m. Western is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they’ve averaged 7.2 runs per game this season.<\/p>\n

Western took a seven-run defeat the last time they faced off against Santiago, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Pioneers narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Cavaliers 14-13. While the Pioneers didn’t have the best season last year (they finished 1-23), it’s starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.<\/p>\n
