The Pioneers, members of the New York Collegiate Baseball League, won the NYCBLs 2007 West Division regular season title with a 26-16 record this summer. They continued their momentum into the post season as they swept the Hornell Dodgers 2-0 in the best of three series to advance to the West Division Finals. Elmira will host the Geneva Red Wings for Game One of the West Division Finals Thursday night at Dunn Field. Geneva defeated the Allegany County Nitros 9-4 Wednesday night in Game Three of the West Division Semifinals.
Tonights playoff game at Dunn Field in Elmira will begin at 7:00 pm, Game One of the best of three series. The winner of the West Division Finals will go on to face the winner of the East Division Finals (Saratoga vs. Glens Falls) in the NYCBL Championship Series. Elmira edged Geneva to take the regular season crown; both teams finished with a 26-16 record, but the Pioneers had the better head-to-head record.
