The Colome Chaos edged out the Winner Demons 12-11 in a Sunday showdown of the Pony Hills League, a game that swung on early offense and a frantic finish.
A Late Rally Falls Short
Colome struck first, plating multiple runs in each of the opening three frames, highlighted by a seven‑run second inning that put them up 12‑3.
Winner refused to go quietly, rallying in the fifth with three consecutive scores to narrow the gap to 12‑10, but the Demons couldn't complete the comeback.
In the ninth, the Demons scratched across a single run and placed the tying runner on second with two outs, only to fall short of the equalizer.
Ethan Vobr led the Chaos at the plate with three hits and two RBIs, while Carter Brickman, Carter Dye and Eli Vobr each added two hits, contributing to a 14‑hit, five‑walk effort.
Joey Cole earned the win with a start that lasted 4 2/3 innings, as the game was marred by 12 errors — five by Colome and seven by Winner.
