The Winner/Colome amateur baseball team split a pair of games they played in Mitchell on May 23.

In the first game, the Pheasants fell to Dimick-Emery 7-5. The local team bounced back and defeated Sioux Falls Brewers 13-5. Derek Graesser went the distance on the mound and also blasted a two run homer in the win.

The Pheasants hosted Kimball on May 26 and won 12-5.

Jaclyn Laprath of Colome ran in the mile and two mile at the state track meet this weekend in Rapid City.

She ran the two mile in 13:06 on Friday and ran the mile in 6:13 on Saturday.

“She ran hard and represented Colome gracefully,” said coach Charles Hosford. “I hope that we get to take more individuals like her to state in the upcoming years,” said Hosford.

The state meet was held at O’Harra Stadium on the campus of South Dakota School of Mines.

Winner/Colome club baseball team closed out the regular season with a 2-1 victory over Platte-Geddes Friday afternoon at Leahy

Bowl in Winner.

The Royals ended the regular season with a 10-2 record. They started playoff action on May 26 when they hosted Todd County.

Levi McClanahan’s two run triple in the fifth inning was responsible for the Royal’s two runs.

Platte-Geddes opened the scoring with a run earlier in the game.

Reed Harter added a double. Kelly O’Bryan, Holden Thieman and Ty Bolton all had hits for Winner/Colome.

“We were fortunate to win this game as we did not hit the ball very well,” said coach Drew Weber.
“We had a few miscues in the field that we have not had much this year. Levi came through with a big hit and our pitching staff did a great job of getting out of some big jams,” added the coach.

Kelly O’Bryan started on the mound for the Royals and pitched two innings. Carter Brickman threw two innings in relief. Reed Harter got the win with three innings in relief.

The victory allowed Winner/Colome to earn the No. 1 seed for the divisional playoffs. “Now is the time that we will need to play our best,” said Weber.

Winner Area golf team placed 11^th at the state golf tournament last Monday and Tuesday in Madison.

Ronae Klein led the Lady Warriors as she placed 28^th with a two day score of 202. Liz Jankauskas tied for 41^st with a 213. Addy Root placed 77^th with a 241 and Sam Marts placed 82^nd with a 254.

Coach Randy Kludt said Klein had a nice finish moving up 15 places from last year. “The other girls had nice finishes on day two,” said the coach.

The first day was bitter cold with the girls playing in 39 degree weather with a steady wind of 30 miles per hour. “It really wasn’t a fair day to score very well for anyone,” said Kludt.

“There were 24 teams represented at the state tournament and finishing 11^th with this young of a team was a good ending,” said the coach.

Ty Bolton pitched the final two innings  giving up 2 runs on two hits, no walks and 4 strikeouts.

“We had 15 days off due to the weather so it was nice to get back out and play,” said coach Drew Weber. “I thought we played pretty well but you could tell the lay off between games affected our hitting early on. Once we got comfortable again at the plate we had some success. I thought our pitchers threw really well and our defense was fairly solid behind them like they have been all year,” said Weber.

The playoffs started on May 26.
