The Oakland Ballers secured a 5-1 victory over the Chukars in a game marked by a strong pitching performance from Zach Saint Pierre. The Ballers capitalized on a shaky second inning from Chukars starter Caleb Reyes, scoring four runs early in the game. Despite the rough start, Reyes settled down and pitched six strong innings, giving up only four hits and limiting the Ballers to their second-inning runs. Chukars manager Troy Percival praised Reyes for his recovery and resilience throughout the game. However, Saint Pierre’s dominant changeup kept the Chukars off balance, leading to the loss. Percival highlighted the need for his team to adjust their approach at the plate to counter off-speed pitches in future games. The Chukars are currently struggling, having lost six of their last seven games and sitting in ninth place in the Pioneer Baseball League standings. They are set to face the Ballers again at Melaleuca Field on Thursday night. Despite the recent setbacks, the team remains determined to bounce back and improve their performance in the upcoming games.
