Another Minor League affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks won a championship last night. The Missoula Osprey claimed the Pioneer League title by defeating the Idaho Falls Chukars 8-1 in the third and deciding game. It marks the fourth championship victory for Missoula who last won the crown in 2012. That team featured current D-backs Jake Lamb and Socrates Brito as well as Evan Marzilli, who played in last year’s Arizona Fall League.
