The Indians received an outstanding pitching performance from Derek Younker and the offense came alive in a 10-0 Sideling Hill League victory over Fannett-Metal on Thursday.

Younker surrendered just two hits, walked none and fanned six in four innings of work for Southern Fulton (2-4, 2-3 SHL).

"Derek threw a nice game," Southern Fulton coach Andrew Pepple said. "We played good defense behind him, too. It was a good team win tonight."

The Indians took a 3-0 lead in the third inning on a three-run homer by Jesse Smartt, who finished 2-for-3 with a home run, double and five RBIs.

In the fourth, Southern Fulton piled up seven more runs. Josh Hall (2-for-3) and Zach Morton (2-for-2) also had two hits for the Indians .

"I've been telling the guys if they put forth 100 percent effort, the wins and everything else will come," Pepple said. "If they keep staying positive and put in the effort, then, hopefully, they'll get positive results."

Jordan Higgins and Ethan Kreigline had hits for Fannett-Metal (2-3, 1-2 SHL).
