Pinnacle has dropped four of their last five games with their last win coming on September 14 against Tabiona. Two games remain on their schedule with the season set to wrap up next Wednesday , October 2.

Junior Mikey Vigil racked up two hits with one RBI, while junior Stetson Motte had two hits and scored the only run of the contest. Sophomore Gabriel Bloomer and Senior Logen Kepl had one hit a piece. Piute held the Pirates to just six hits on a day when offense would be at a premium for Pinnacle.
