Both pitchers gave up three hits each in their respective stints  on the mound.

Andrew Johnson led the Knights in hitting with a single, a double and an RBI. Both Connor Davault and Zach Hibbits were 1-2 with a double and run driven in. Ryan West was 2-3 with two singles and an RBI, and Pete Grindell stole two bases after reaching base twice on a walk and an error.

De Soto 7, Central 4

DE SOTO - The Central Rebels rallied again in the seventh inning for two runs, but it was not enough as they fell to the De Soto Dragons 7-4 on Friday.

Ryan Calvird was 2-3 with an RBI, and Luke Baker and Daniel Holloway were both 1-3 for the Rebels’ four hits.
