The Winner/Colome Pheasants didn’t have the greatest start, but came together to take home a 12-2 win over the Wagner Rockets last Tuesday night at Leahy Bowl.

Wagner jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but the Pheasants answered right back with a pair of runs with Reed Harter being drove in by Austin Calhoon. Austin Richey would tie the game at two when he hit a double that drove in Calhoon.

In the fourth inning, Derek Graesser doubled which sent in one run to give the Pheasants a 3-2. That’s when Winner/Colome put the game away.

The Pheasants combined to score nine runs in the seventh and eighth innings which ended the game because of the 10 run rule.

Harter and Calhoon lead Winner/Colome with three hits. Calhoon and Zach Harter both finished with three RBI.

On the mound, Kelly O’Bryan pitched an impressive game while not allowing a single hit. O’Bryan lasted all eight innings while striking out 14 batters.
