The United South Central pitching staff had been holding opponents to next-to-nothing over the course of the past three games, but Friday night the Rebel bats took all the pressure off the pitchers in a 21-9 victory over Blue Earth in Blue Earth.

USC (6-4, 4-1) pounded out 14 hits in the game and actually trailed 8-7 going into the fifth inning.

The Rebels exploded for 14 runs over the next three innings to pick up their fourth consecutive win after dropping four last week.

Matt Stiernagle led the way with a 3-for-4 night, knocking in five runs on two doubles.

A.J. Dreyer connected for his third home run of the season, a two-run bomb to left field as he finished 2-for-4 with four RBIs.

Nick Fure also went 2-for-4 with four RBIs and Chris Schultz drove in three runs with a 2-for-3 night at the plate.

Dustin Dylla picked up the win, throwing three innings of three-hit ball and allowing one run.
