Thomas added his third RBI of the day in the third on a single to left and the Indians extend their lead to 7-0 in the fourth as Hunter Nabors(Montevallo, Ala.) and Siddell drove in a pair of runs.
After Co-Lin plated their first run of the game in the fifth, Lancaster scored a wild pitch in the sixth and Justin Medlin(Ripley) driving in a run on a sacrifice fly.
