Three Oaks baseball cruises into sectional title game behind Morris no-hitter



Coming off one of the closer games the unbeaten Choctaws have played this season on their way to over 20 wins, Three Oaks took care of business on Wednesday, scoring early and often on the way to a 15-0 win over West Middle School in the TMSAA Class A Section 4 Tournament in Jackson.

The Choctaws were held scoreless in the bottom of the first but more than made up for it in the second frame. Braxton Anderson led off with a single then Crawford Childress singled two batters later. With two outs, the offense put it into drive as Corbyn Kolwyck drew a walk to load the bases before a Nate Vick single scored a pair of runs. Landon Todd drew a walk to load the bases again then Maddox Davis reached on an error to score a run. After a balk pushed across another run, Cullen Messer singled in two more to put the Choctaws up 6-0 heading into the third frame.

Leading off the third, Grayson Daniels was hit by a pitch and Childress singled. Talon Harrell doubled in two runs then Vick and Todd reached on back-to-back errors with the second one scoring a run. Another balk pushed across a run then Davis singled in another to put the Choctaws up by 11. A two-run single from Messer gave Three Oaks a 12-0 lead then another balk added a run. A third balk in the inning put the Choctaws on the doorstep of ending it before a Kolwcyk doubled in the final run to bring the mercy run into play.

Messer and Childress each had a pair of singles to lead the way for Three Oaks at the plate.

Seth Morris picked up the win on the mound, throwing a no-hitter while striking out three in three innings of work.

Three Oaks will take on Martin on Thursday night at 6 p.m. in the TMSAA Class A Section 4 Championship Game at Jackson.

  Jason Peevyhouse Editor, JP Productions Sports With the fanbases from both local schools in attendance and supporting their favorite teams, Dyer County rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to score twice in the third quarter. 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...
