I'm having trouble getting my center to stop the penetration.

Get your head across. If the OT's not covered, might want to have him take his power step toward the pulling G to help squeeze that gap a bit.

Also have OT to side Center is coming get a "hand wham" on the DLM (top set him up for CTR). We do this on Powers & Counters (off G pulls & CTR blocks back).
