Scotland posted 10 runs in the top of the first, and scored six more in the second, four coming on a grand slam by senior designated hitter Phillip Williams, who finished 3-for-3 with six runs driven in.
Senior Ryan Pierce and junior Francis Lloyd combined on a two-hit shutout in a game that was stopped after five innings via the 10-run rule. Pierce struck out seven and walked three in three innings to get the win, and Lloyd fanned three and walked one in two innings. Both pitchers allowed one hit.
Cody Marcure, a recent call-up from the SHS junior-varsity team, went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored. Lloyd was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs.
Sam Smith went 2-for-2 with a double and one RBI, Curt Britt was 2-for-3 with two runs scored, Travis Walters went 2-for-3 and drove in a run. Ryan Walker was 1-for-2 with two RBIs.
Scotland improves to 6-3 overall and 3-1 in the Mid-Southeastern 4-A Conference with Tuesday's win. The Scots travel to face Richmond on Friday night at 7 p.m.

Senior Jessica Milligan pitched her third consecutive shutout — and her fourth on the season — in the SHS varsity softball team's 4-0 road victory over Seventy-First on Tuesday.
Milligan went all seven innings, throwing 71 pitches and striking out a dozen Falcons while allowing just two hits.
Scotland managed four runs on only six hits. Whitney Britt was 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI; Sarah Laviner went 2-for-3 with one RBI; Brittany Gibson was 2-for-4; Shae Barnes went 1-for-3 at the plate for the Scots.
"Actually, we hit the ball well, struck it square today," said SHS head coach Patrick Williams, whose team improves to 7-1 overall and 3-0 in the Mid-Southeastern 4-A Conference. "It was one of those things where the ball was hit directly at people.
"The pitcher, she probably had five or six putouts herself."
Scotland plays at Richmond on Friday at 6 p.m.
