After struggling to score in the opening game of Tuesday’s doubleheader at home against visiting Jefferson College, the Dyersburg State baseball team’s bats came to life in Game 2, taking a 9-3 win over the visiting team.

The Eagles had big innings in the third and sixth, scoring three each in those frames. With two out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the third, the Eagles got a Grant Gilolli on base after being hit by a pitch to plate a run, breaking a 2-2 tie. Ashton Kehren added an RBI single to help the Eagles go up three after three innings.

Dyersburg State’s three-run inning in the bottom of the sixth helped seal the deal for the Eagles. RBI singles from Logan Cooke and Gomez were the big knocks of the inning which gave the home team a six-run lead it kept through the next inning to get the win.

Cooke led the way for the Eagles with three singles and an RBI while Jake Sanots added a double and an RBI in the win.

Jefferson College 3, Dyersburg State 0

The Eagles were held to no runs on five hits during the first game on Tuesday, falling by three runs to Jefferson College.

Jabari Daniely had the only extra base hit of the opening game, a double in the bottom of the seventh.

Dyersburg State returns to action on Friday when the Eagle travel to Motlow College for the first game of a three-game set beginning at 1 p.m.

Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins.
