SouthWest had two big innings. They scored three runs in the third and six runs in the fourth to help seal the win by the 10-run mercy rule.
"This was a good team win with everyone on the team making contributions," Cougars head coach Jeff Gould said. "Once again we played error free ball behind Kaylan who pitched a great game for us."
