On Thursday, East Central made easy work of South Dearborn and carried off an 8-2 victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Trojans.
Ethan Wynn spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on two hits and racked up eight Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
