Colwell's Slam Defeats Coalers
5/2/2014
Junior Jordan Colwell's fifth inning grand slam was the difference in the Comets' 6-4 victory at Coal City. With two outs, Colwell hit an 0-1 pitch over the left field fence that jump started a Comet offense that was sputtering against Coaler pitcher, Nate Chapman.

R-C had runners at first and third with no outs in the first inning and a runner at third with no outs in the third. The Comets were unable to score in either inning.

R-C didn't let Chapman off the hook, however, in the fifth. Chapman walked Tyler Murawski to lead off the fifth. The left hander got the next two Comet hitters before walking Jon Costain and Jordan Walden to load the bases. Colwell then followed with his first career Varsity homer that gave the Comets a 5-2 lead they would not relinquish.

Coal City had taken a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a two RBI single off the bat of Brad Littleton.

R-C would narrow the gap in the fourth when Colwell singled, stole second and third and came home on an errant throw by the Coal City catcher.

Reed-Custer would add another run in the sixth after a lead off single by Mason Dransfeldt. Dransfeldt stole second and third, before coming home on a fielder's choice by Travis Schoonover. That made the score 6-2 in favor of R-C.

Coal City continued to battle as they scored single tallies in the sixth and seventh innings to account for the final score.

Colwell lead the Comets with two hits. Schoonover would add a triple to the Comets' six hit attack.

Thomas Youskevtch and Gubelman had RBI singles for Coal City.

Brent Headrick (7-1) went the distance for R-C, striking out 8 and walking 6. The Comet ace surrendered 4 earned runs on 6 hits.

Reed-Custer is 16-7 overall and 7-2 in the I-8.
