That score would hold until the bottom of the fourth inning when Aiden Strobel would single to score Shumate and Eli Hiestand to make the score 9-2. Six more runs would come across to score, highlighted by a single from Hoover, and a bases clearing double from Moore to cap off their second 7-run inning. Tockstein would strike out the side in the top of the fifth inning, securing the Cougars with the 14-2 victory. The win improves South Central to 1-1 on the season.
