Big plays trumped big numbers today as the Pioneers notched their first win of the year with a nail-biting 14-13 victory over Amesbury.

The Indians rolled for nearly 400 yards of offense, but the Pioneers stopped them at the one, 21 and 27 yard lines to seriously limit the damage and stay in the game.

The Pioneers got big play TD's on a 92 yard pass from Mike Karavetsos to Jonathan Rogers and a 70 yard return of a fumble recovery by A. J. Gallo. Alex Roper added both extra points, the second of which turned out to be the margin of victory.

And probably the biggest play of the game was Tyler Palumbo's PAT block that preserved the win.

You can get all the details and action photos in my game account in the Villager on Wednesday. Meanwhile check back here tomorrow night for my Leftovers post.

And has been said before, they don't draw pictures on the scoreboard.

Pioneers are now 1-1.
