South Central baseball used big third and fourth innings to pull away and shut out Ramsey 15-0 in four innings on Monday. The Cougars opened their scoring with a pair of runs in the bottom of the second inning with a RBI double from Kaiden Harrell and a run scored by Eli Heistand on a balk as South Central held a 2-0 lead at the end of the inning. In the bottom of the third inning, South Central loaded the bases on back to back drawn walks followed by a hit by pitch but the Rams got a popout and a lineout to hold the runners and get the first two outs of the inning. But South Central was able to rally for seven runs and push their lead out to 9-0 at the end of the third inning. Holding Ramsey scoreless for the fourth straight inning, South Central continued to lead 9-0 and had their bats het hot in the fourth inning using a walk from Tysin Jones, singles from Sebastian Kruger, Aiden Strobel and four consecutive doubles from Aiden Hoover, Chase Guerrettaz, Hudson Moore and Garrett Shumate to push six more runs across the plate to get their lead to 15-0 and trigger the run rule and close out the win. South Central evens their record up at 4-4 on the season and will be at home again today when host Altamont in National Trail Conference action. Ramsey is now 0-5 on the season and will be back in action on Wednesday at home against Neoga.
