South Central baseball grabbed a lead in the second inning and didn’t look back as they cruised to a 10 to 3 win over Red Hill on Wednesday in the Semifinals of their own South Central 1A Regional. The Salukis took a 2-0 lead in the first inning but the Cougars responded quickly in the bottom of the first on a two RBI single from Evan Hoover to tie it up at 2-2. After loading the bases in the second inning, Trevan Sidwell doubled for the Cougars bringing in a pair of runs and Hoover singled again to score one run and another run came in on the throw as South Central went up 6-2. A RBI double from Zane Montes and a RBI single from Luke Shumate scored two more for the Cougars in the fourth for an 8-2 lead before Red Hill scored its final run on the top of the sixth to make it 8-3. South Central added two more insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth as Montes hit a 2-run home run to left field to push the Cougar lead to 10-3 as South Central closed out the 10-3 win. The Cougars, now 12-12 on the season, will take on a familiar opponent in the Championship game as they will battle NTC rival North Clay on Saturday at 1:00pm at Lions Field in Kinmundy.
