The Pheasants jumped out to a 7 nothing lead after two innings as Austin Calhoon batted 3-for-6 with a walk scoring a run, Reed Harter drove in three runs on three hits, including a double and a home run, and Aiden Barfuss launched a solo home run along with drawing two walks.
Dillon Lambley collected two hits and an RBI, while Drew DeMers and JJ Farner each tallied hits in the win, including a double by Drew DeMers and Derek Grasser earned the victory on the mound for the Pheasants, issuing no runs on three hits and one walk in five innings, striking out nine batters.
