Amelia Montes followed with a double. Kinlee Thompson hit a ball that the Bulldogs third baseman Emeline Wines handled to get the first out on a fielder&#8217;s choice. Lauren Johnson drew a walk and the bases were loaded. Emmie Ruholl followed with a single, scoring two runs. Zoey Feldhake walked and the bases were once again loaded.<\/p>\n<p>But Nancy Ruholl got tough on the mound, striking out the next two batters to end the threat of more runs.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulldogs got their first hit in the second inning by Ruholl with a single but she was left stranded.<\/p>\n<p>In the top of the fourth, Annie Ruholl drew a walk with one out. A fly ball put the second out up on the board. But the Cougars then got back on track as Montes had her third hit of the game, a single. Thompson then followed with a home run and the Cougars moved into a 5-1 lead. Lauren Johnson drew a walk and Zoey Feldhake had an RBI single for a 6-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>St. Anthony then scored its only run in the bottom of the inning. Jackie Vonderheide doubled and came home on a single by Ruholl.<\/p>\n<p>From that point on, both teams were quiet. South Central went up in down in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.<\/p>\n<p>St. Anthony rumbled several times. In the fifth, Lilly Gannaway got a single after Lily Hardiek was hit by a pitch but both runners were left stranded.<\/p>\n<p>Vonderheide got her second double of the game in the sixth but she was left on base. Sadie Vineyard drew a walk in the seventh but was also left on base.<\/p>\n<p>South Central finished with eight hits in the contest while Peddicord gave up only one walk and struck out 12.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At St. Anthony<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>South Central\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0200\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0400\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a00\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0&#8212;\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a06-8-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>St. Anthony\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0000\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0100\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a00\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0&#8212;\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a01-5-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WP &#8212; Peddicord.
