Trojans top Halls for ten-run road win

 


After suffering a pair of losses in a row, Dyersburg’s baseball team got back on the winning track on Wednesday, jumping out to a five-run lead early on the way to a 10-0 win over Halls at Rockabilly Stadium in Jackson.

With Evan Thompson reaching on an error to lead off the game and a one-out single from Alex Page, the Trojans were in business in the top of the first inning. Will Leonard singled in a run then JP Noblin reached on an error which allowed another run to score. With two outs, Ryan Wesson also reached on an error which resulted in another Dyersburg run. Leoard Cohen singled in another run before Wesson scored moments later on a passed ball to give the Trojans a 5-0 lead after a half inning.

With five runs of support before evening throwing a pitch, Noblin cruised through the bottom of the first, striking out the side.

The Trojans didn’t get back onto the board again until the top of the fifth inning. Thompson drew a walk then stole third later in the inning before scoring on a sacrifice fly by Page to put Dyersburg up 6-0 after four and a half innings.

With one out and Jayce Ellerbrook on third after a flyout in the top of the sixth, a grounder to second allowed him to score and extend the Dyersburg lead to seven. Cohen singled then a two-out triple from Thompson plated another run. Page followed two batters later with a two-run triple to put the Trojans on top 10-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth.

Wesson closed out the game, striking out two of the five batters he faced in the frame to secure the Trojan victory.

Thompson and Page each had a triple and a single to lead the way for Dyersburg at the plate. Leonard had a pair of singles as well.

Noblin picked up the win, allowing no runs on two hits with eight strikeouts in five innings of work.

Dyersburg returns to action on Friday when the Trojans travel back to Jackson to take on McEwen at 2 p.m. at Rockabilly Stadium.

But, a late touchdown by the Trojans forced overtime where a special teams became the most important part of the game as the Choctaws blocked Dyersburg’s extra point attempt then were able to score and sophomore DC kicker Jotham Powell hit a PAT for the 35-34 win to open the season. The game marked the first career win for new Dyer County Head Coach Justin Dubruiel. It was also the first win by a Choctaw team at Dyersburg since 2007. “It was good,” Dubruiel said following the win. “It was good for our kids and good for Dyer County. “Whenever you can beat Dyersburg, it’s a fun night for everybody.” Trailing by a touchdown at the half, Dyer County was able to get a stop on defense, forcing a three-and-out. On the ensuing punt, Choctaw juni...

  Jason Peevyhouse JP Productions Sports Thanks to a stellar second half which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 45-23, the Dyersburg boys will play for a region championship for the first time since 2004 after the black and gold’s 68-55 win over the Tomcats on Tuesday night in Newbern. "I think our kids were extremely engaged from the tip," Dyersburg Head Coach Blaine Mahaffey said. "I thought we rebounded well all night.  "And then, in the second half, when we were able to play a little bit better offensively, I think it showed up more." Trailing by nine at the break, the Trojans cut it to eight early in the second half but a three-pointer from Haywood put the Tomcats back up 35-24 with just over seven minutes left in the frame. Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins. This opened up four-minute stretch which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 19-3 and was capped by a Jeff Cobb three-point play and tw...
