South Central got themselves on the board against White Oak on Thursday, but White Oak never followed suit. They put the hurt on the Vikings with a sharp 13-0 win. Considering the Falcons have won seven games by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Colby Jones made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. That stolen base marked the first that he has snagged this season.

In other pitching news, South Central got a great performance from Nate Hale as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. Hale has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Justin Bloww, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. Those two runs gave him a new career-high. Tyce Thompson was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, one double, and one RBI.

The victory was the third in a row for South Central, bringing their record up to 12-3. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for White Oak, they dropped their record down to 1-14 with the defeat, which was their sixth straight at home.
