The District 6 baseball tournament is underway Thursday. Top seeded Central dominated its opening round game, beating Westmont Hilltop 15-0 in four innings. After a scoreless first frame, Dragons’ starter Jonah Snowberger faced a bases loaded jam in the second, but a pair of strikeouts to close the inning opened up the floodgates as Central turned around and exploded for 12 runs in the bottom of the inning.
The win kept Central a perfect 21-0 on the season and advances them to next week’s district semifinal.
