A three-run third inning proved enough run support for Bryce Haney, who allowed three hits and three walks while striking out seven in a complete-game performance Wednesday to lead Class 2A, No. 4 Triton Central to a 3-2 victory over 2A No. 9 Cascade in Fairland.

The win elevated the Tigers (15-2, 9-1 Indiana Crossroads Conference) back to the top of the conference standings.
