On June 25, DTC faced off in a close game with Vicker’s Grave Service. The score remained tight until the third inning when one team broke away big.
DTC started off the scoring with Colby Barnes and Conner Crabtree each coming in with runs. The second inning was dry for both teams, and it looked as if DTC might run away with the win in the third with Axel Aldino and Levi Cantrell each touching home plate.
But Vicker’s came alive at their turn to bat with Jordan Crook, Jeremy Boren Jones, J.J. Pack, Josef Osment, Logan O’Conner, and Wesley Hallum each coming in with a run.  Vicker’s would come away with the win, 6-4.

That same evening, Liberty State Bank took on Southern Landscape Supply in another big-scoring third inning game.

Another third inning drive put LSB in a firm lead with Knowles, Driver, Jordan Young, Caven Ponder, and Kobbe Clarey each getting a run. SLS mounted their own drive in the third with Taylor, Braxton Hutchings, and Isaac Cross each getting a run, but it wasn’t enough. LSB came away with the victory, 7-4.
