He surrendered five runs on three hits and walked three. Mason Cockram came on in relief and also allowed five runs on three hits.
Floyd led 3-1 into the bottom of the third before the Cougars scored four runs in the bottom half of the inning to go up, 5-3. They would score a single run in the fifth and then six more in the bottom of the sixth to secure the win.
Coach Greg Allen, head coach of the Cougars, said, “I’m proud of Konner (Furrow) as he got stronger as he went. Bryce (Beeler) is seeing beach balls right now. He’s in attack mode and had a great approach today. Kaleb (Sartin) has been an on-base machine. Proud of these guys, and they’re a wonderful group of young men.”
The Cougars (8-7) have now won three straight and will host the Graham G-Men this Friday at 5 pm.
