By David Rogers. TAYLORSVILLE, N.C. — Host Alexander Central got going early and never looked back against Watauga on March 24.
While shutting out the Pioneers over the seven innings of play, the Cougars plated two runs in the first inning, added another in the 3rd, and two more insurance runs in the bottom of the 6th to win the day in a battle of Northwestern Conference heavyweights.
Watauga (9-2 overall) is now 1-1 in NWC play, tied for third place with South Caldwell, while Alexander Central (7-4 overall) is 2-0 atop the standings, tied with Hibriten.
The Pioneers will look to get back in the league leadership mix on March 28 when they host Hibriten. Alexander Central will travel to South Caldwell on the same day, with the first pitch for both games slated for 6:30 pm.
