In 2017 the Dodgers affiliate in Ogden won their first Pioneer League championship since the Raptors were born in 1994. They were after a repeat championship in 2018 and came oh so close qualifying for a play-off berth with a 26-12 record in the first half of the season. They finished the season with a league best 46-30 record.
However, a second consecutive championship was not to be. They dropped the first game of a three-game play-off 8-5 to the Grand Junction Rockies (Colorado)and evened the series with a 7-5 win in the second game. In the winner-take-all third game the Raptors spotted the Rockies a 6-0 lead in the first two innings.
