Not much got past Colby Young, who gave up just five hits and racked up eight Ks to keep West Union off the board. Young has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, DeSoto Central saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Darby Smith, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.

DeSoto Central is on a roll lately: they've won 16 of their last 17 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for West Union, they moved to 13-9 with that loss, which also ended their six-game winning streak.

Looking ahead, DeSoto Central will welcome Southaven at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. West Union does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
