KINMUNDY -- Dieterich claimed what would have been a junior high softball sectional contest over South Central Tuesday, 6-1.

Dieterich had won a Class 1A Regional by blanking Hutsonville/Palestine, 8-0 while South Central won over Mulberry Grove, 7-6 in Class 1A Regional play.

Those two teams would have met in the sectional but the Illinois Elementary School Association ended the season after the regionals.

Dieterich edged out to a 1-0 opening inning lead. South Central tied in the top of the third but Dieterich tallied two in the bottom of the frame then added on a single run in the fifth and two in the sixth.

Dieterich had eight hits led by Jansen with a single, home run and an RBI, Faller with three singles and an RBI and Niemerg with a single, double and two RBI.

South Central had three hits, all singles, by Reid, Shuler and Thompson.
