Central Drops District Matchup to Mojo

SAN ANGELO, TX — The Central Bobcats dropped a district matchup to Odessa Permian at home on Thursday, 8-0.

Despite a close contest in the first half of the matchup, the Panthers took advantage of the last four innings to take a commanding lead.

Permian struck early off of a pair of two-out singles that helped load the bases at the top of the first inning. A walk drove in the first run, and the Panthers took a 1-0 lead. Permian would add two runs in the top of the fourth, three in the top of the fifth, and one each in the top of the sixth and seventh innings.

Central struggled on offense, managing only two hits throughout the game. Michael Duran and Judson Bright both went 1-2 at the plate, but Central never managed to capitalize on those hits with runs.

Trevor Koehn pitched 4.2 innings for the Bobcats. He allowed seven hits and six runs in his outing. He also walked five and struck out three.

Central fell to 11-10-1 overall and 0-4 in District 2-6A, while Permian improved to 10-10, 3-1.

Next up, the Bobcats travel to Odessa on Friday to play a doubleheader against Permian. First pitch in the two-game matchup is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
