KINMUNDY -- Effingham St. Anthony waited until the last inning before unleashing their run-scoring ability to take a 5-1 victory over South Central in high school baseball action Tuesday.

That homer held up until the top of the fifth when the Bulldogs came to bat. With one out, Jacob Guy reached base on an error. Adam Levitt and Blake Niebrugge drew back-to-back walks to load the bases. Davis Tingley hit a sacrifice fly to deep right that allowed the tying run to score and advanced Levitt and Niebrugge to second and third. South Central got the second out. Colin Koester was intentionally walked. Austin Kline drew another walk and scored a second run. Greg Utz singled home another run and Joseph Kabbes banged out a single, scoring the final two runs.

The Bulldogs finished with only three hits while South Central had five.
