With a 3-1 victory over the Orem Owlz, the Grand Junction Rockies clinched their first playoff spot since 2013 with a second half division title.
The Rockies are 23-14 in the second half (43-32 overall), two full games clear of Idaho Falls with only one game remaining. In their last foray into the playoffs, the GJ Rox were eliminated in the divisional finals. Five years later, the squad is back to attempt to make their first Pioneer League Finals.
Grant Lavigne and Niko Decolati led the way for the Rockies going a combined 5-for-6. Hunter Stovall hit a game tying home run in the sixth inning to get the offense started as the Rockies rode strong pitching once again to the win.
