Already leading 2-0 Tuesday in the Indianapolis Lutheran Sectional, Morristown scored four runs in the top of the third to take a 6-0 advantage.

The Cougars (4-7) scored single runs in the third and fourth innings to cut into the Yellow Jackets’ lead before a second 4-run inning in the sixth put Morristown in complete control.
