Pioneers go 1-1 at tourney
A young group of Warren County Pioneers hit the baseball diamond last weekend, as part of the TYBA Spring Fling, which was held at the Civic Center complex.
This group of Pioneers, who competed in the coach-pitch division of the tournament, picked up a big win against the Murfreesboro Cobras on Saturday before falling to the Dickson Dynamite.
Against the Cobras, the Pioneers plated eight runs in the first inning on their way to a 28-4 blowout.
Brock Majors, Collin Smedley and Griffin Jones scored every time they came up in the win, plating four runs each, while Dillon Tubb, Merek McColloch and Nick Tilton crossed the plate three times apiece.
The Pioneers sent all 10 batters to the plate in each of the first three innings, winning the game in four frames.
Moving on to face the Dynamite, the Pioneers got three runs in the first thanks to hits by Tubb, Majors and Smedley, and took a 6-2 lead after the second inning when Tristan Reish, Travis Smartt and Tubb all singled.
But Dickson came back with three runs in the third, and posted seven runs on seven hits in the fifth inning to come back and take a 12-10 victory.
The Dynamite advanced all the way to the tournament’s semifinals, where they were eliminated by the Wildcats, who went on to finish as the tourney runner-up.
