Winner/Colome takes down PBR
The Winner/Colome Pheasants were able to set the tone early in the opening game of the State B Amateur Baseball Tournament at Cadwell Park last night as they took down Dell Rapids PBR, 8-2. The game was delayed a little over two hours in Mitchell due to rain. Derek Graesser was the winning pitcher as he struck out eleven and allowed only four hits. Austin Richey had a big night at the plate for the Pheasants as he went three for four and drove in three runs. Graesser, Jared Donahue and Reed Harter each chipped in two hits apiece for Winner/Colome, who advance to take on the Vermillion Grey Sox on Sunday at 5:30. Vermillion was victorious over Clark, 11-7.
