Winner-Colome baseball team defeated Bennett County 5-1 in five innings on Monday, April 6, at Leahy Bowl. The game was called after five innings due to the rain.
Holden Thieman was the winning pitcher.
Leading hitters were Reed Harter with a double, two stolen bases and one run scored and Thieman scored two runs and had 2 stolen bases.
“This was a tough game to play due to some rough conditions. I was pleased with how well we pitched. Holden did a great job of getting ahead in the count and making big pitches to get out of some early jams,” said coach Drew Weber.
Ty Bolton came in and pitched the last two innings. “I thought he did really well,” said the coach,
“The biggest key to our season will always be our pitchers ability to throw strikes and we’ve been able to do that so far this season. We need to get the bats going a little bit, but the slow start was to be expected. We are finding ways to get on base and using our speed really well on the base paths. Once the sticks get going a bit, I think we’ll really start putting runs on the board,” said Weber.
With the win, the Royals are undefeated at 3-0.
