In the 7th, St. John Fisher added a run on a RBI single but the Pioneers made it 9-6 in the 8th when Connor Pingitore (Amsterdam/Broadalbin-Perth) hit a RBI single. In the 8th and in the 9th the Pioneers had the tying run on deck but could not get any closer.
Dickerson who came off the bench was the lone Pioneer with multiple hits. He finished 2 for 2 with a double and a triple.
A doubleheader vs. Keystone scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed. The Pioneers now have a couple days off before they return to AMCC play on Saturday when they head to Mt. Aloysius for a 1 p.m. doubleheader.
