Winnipeg scored a run in the second, and Yurendell de Caster delivered the big blow with a grand slam in the fourth as part of a five-run fourth inning. Josh Mazzola's two-run home run in the sixth capped the Winnipeg scoring.
Pheasants starter Mark Michael (5-4) lasted just 3 1/3 innings, allowing nine runs on 11 hits. Rich Hawkins (3-1) earned the victory, limiting the Pheasants to just two runs on two hits in six innings.
