Wagner’s first contest of the tournament was a noontime first pitch versus Gregory in the Cowboy country of Colome. Carter Cournoyer would get the nod on the mound for Wagner and that turned out to be a good choice as he turned in a stellar performance leading Wagner to a 9-1 victory. He went the distance (6 innings in this tournament) giving up one earned run on just two hits and a walk while notching 11 Ks.

He did give up a double and a single in the sixth but managed to pick off the runner at first base before the Gorillas could mount any serious threat.
