The South Central Cougars upset top-seed North Clay to win the Kinmundy 1a Regional on Saturday 4-2.
SC scored all of their runs in the opening inning. Evan Hoover doubled down the line followed by Chase Guerrettaz single, Zane Montes sac-fly and Luke Shumate single.
That was enough for Callaway Smith who went the distance allowing 8 hits and 2 run. He struck out 3 and got some great defense behind him especially from third baseman Trevan Sidwell.
The Cougars advance to the Altamont Sectional on Wednesday night to play Pawnee at 6:30. The first game is at 4pm between Nokomis and Casey Westfield.
