South Central softball punched its ticket to the Championship game of the Hutsonville 1A Regional after picking up an 18 to 2 win over North Clay in the regional semifinals on Tuesday. The Lady Cougars ran out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and pushed that lead to 7-0 with three more runs in the second inning. While continuing to hold North Clay scoreless, the Lady Cougars put up one more run in the third inning to go up 8-0. The Cardinals would put their first and only runs on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth inning, cutting the South Central lead down to six runs, 8-2. The Lady Cougars offense bust the game wide open in the bottom of the fourth though with ten runs coming off of five doubles, one home run, a walk and taking advantage of three North Clay errors to surge ahead 18-2 and close out the win by way of the run rule.
