Ballers' Win Pushes Championship Series to Decisive Fifth Game

September 21, 2025 - OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Ballers flew back to Oakland from Idaho Falls on the brink of elimination, but back-to-back wins have them just as close to a Pioneer League Championship. Oakland pulled ahead late against the Idaho Falls Chukars to beat them 8-3 Saturday and force a winner-take-all game five Sunday. Idaho Falls drew first blood in the second inning.

Ballers Force Game Four in Championship Series

September 20, 2025 - OAKLAND, Calif. - The Ballers are still breathing. Oakland handled the Idaho Falls Chukars, 10-2, in game four of the 2025 Pioneer League Championship Series in front of a sellout crowd of 4,100 at Raimondi Park on Friday night.

September 17, 2025 - IDAHO FALLS, Idaho -- The Idaho Falls Chukars defeated the Ballers in game one of the 2025 Pioneer League Championship Series on Tuesday night. Despite an early 3-0 edge, the Ballers could not hold off the resilient and powerful Chukars' offense, which came alive in a three-run sixth inning.
