SOUTH CENTRAL

Though South Central has had mixed results early in the season, the Cougars found a way to pick up a big win on Tuesday.

Battling Class 2A Greenville at home, South Central got a complete game from senior Dan Diss and three doubles to defeat the Comets, 7-5.

The Cougars (3-5) scored three runs in each of the first two innings to take a 6-1 lead, and held off Greenville, which scored three runs in the fourth and one in the fifth to get within a run before South Central added another run in the sixth.

Diss struck out eight in his first win of the season, and was also 2-for-3, with an RBI, at the plate.

Sophomore Noah Powless, and seniors Fischer Tharp and Austin Schwarm all doubled, and combined for six RBI.
