Rowe (1-0) scattered five hits, and forced 13 ground ball outs. The WhiteWings scored their lone run in the second inning, but the Colts responded in the top of the third to even the game at one.
Shortstop Danny Hernandez hit a leadoff double, and advanced to third on a bunt single by third baseman Steve Rinaudo. Right fielder Mike Mobbs then had an RBI ground out that scored Hernandez.
