Pitcher in game we ran (4)

I believe the answer is:

ewer

'pitcher' is the definition.
('ewer' can be a synonym of 'pitcher')

'in game we ran' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'EWER' is hidden in the letters of 'game we ran'.

(Other definitions for ewer that I've seen before include "Large pitcher" , "Sort of jug" , "A type of jug" , "Vessel for pouring" , "A wide-lipped jug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
