Under .500 the Pioneers have had their ups and downs, but they continue to play hard and together throughout the season.
The season is winding down and the playoffs are less than two weeks away. The Pioneers pitching is crucial to their success this postseason and they must find a flow offensively.
“Its been our one struggle all season, scoring runs, so to have a good run in the tournament we’ll have to figure out something offensively,” said head coach Ryan Hunt.

The Volunteer State Community College Spring Fling and Pledge to Stop Sexual Assault event was in the plaza of the Steinhauer-Rogan-Black building April 19.
The event highlighted several of VSCC’s clubs, had games, free food, a photo booth, and gave out free t-shirts that displayed sayings like, “Swiping right does not mean consent,” and, “Buying a drink does not mean yes.”
Coordinator of Student Support Tiffany Zwart said, “The idea is to get our students thinking about what consent looks like for them and what it really is legally, so that they can make wise choices and also be mindful. We know this pledge isn’t going to make everyone understand, but if it gets a conversation started and it gets them thinking about what consent really is, that’s really our goal.”
This was the first time combining a prevention and support event along with the Spring Fling.
