Winner/Colome club baseball team defeated Todd County 12-2 in playoff action May 26 at Leahy Bowl in Winner.

Riley Calhoon started on the mound and pitched two innings, giving up 2 runs on 1 hit, 6 walks and 2 strikeouts. Ty Bolton earned the win in relief pitching 4 innings, giving up no runs on no hits, 2 walks and 3 strikeouts.

At the plate, Brandon Bicek had a double, 2 RBI, 2 runs scores and 2 stolen bases.

Reed Harter had a single, 1 RBI, 2 runs scores and 2 stolen bases. Bolton had 2 RBI and Nick Lantz scored 3 runs.

“I thought we came out a little unfocused and Todd County capitalized by scoring 2 quick runs in the top of the first inning,” said coach Drew Weber. “After that, we settled down and played a little better. We scored 6 runs in the bottom of the first inning by capitalizing on some  of the mistakes made by Todd County. We did not hit the ball all that well but we found ways on base and used our speed to steal nine bases,” said Weber.

The coach said the team is happy to advance to the next round “We will have to clean up a few mistakes in order to keep advancing. I’m confident we can and the boys are excited for the opportunity,” said Weber.
