The Great Falls Voyagers could've let the minor-league season last a few more days, but they didn't want to chance it.
They swept their way to the Pioneer League title, building an early 5-0 lead against Grand Junction and holding on for a 6-4 victory. Romy Gonzalez, who went 0-for-10 with five strikeouts during Great Falls' sweep of Billings in the semifinals, went 6-for-9 in the championship series, including a 3-for-3 performance on Thursday.
It's the Voyagers' first title since 2011, although they did lose in the finals to Ogden last season. KRTV in Great Falls has the early highlights, which includes looks at Gonzalez, Jonathan Stiever and Lenyn Sosa:
Great Falls 6, Grand Junction 4
- Lenyn Sosa went 2-for-5.
- Romy Gonzalez, 3-for-3 with a double, walk and stolen base.
- Bryce Bush walked thrice and struck out twice.
- Amado Nunez was 1-for-5 with three strikeouts.
- Gunnar Troutwine went 1-for-4 with a strikeout
- Jonathan Stiever: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 2 WP
- Codi Heuer: 2.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB
And that's all she wrote for the 2018 minor-league season.
