The Jefferson Davis Community College Warhawk baseball team improved their record to 5-7-1 after playing four games in two days.
JDCC swept a double header with Bevill State Saturday and split with Lawson State Sunday at home in makeup game.
The Warhawks defeated Bevill 7-6 and 11-3. Against Lawson, JDCC won game one 12-8 before losing game two 8-6.
“Actually played well all weekend,” JDCC Warhawk head coach Darrell Blevins said. “We swept Bevill on Saturday behind very good pitching from starters Ryne Drummonds and Cory Thompson. We split with a very much-improved Lawson State team Sunday. Another exceptional outing from starter Jeremy Barnes in game one and had a good pitching performance from Jarris Whitaker in game two but gave Lawson too many extra opportunities to push runs across by fielding errors and not playing as smart as we are going to have to play in order to be successful.”
Blevins said he is very proud of his squad.
“We have made some adjustments in our play and were able to see the results from those adjustments quickly,” Blevins said. “Our concentration level and intensity level through 14 innings on each day was improved from a few days ago and also had a great deal to do with the success this weekend.”
JDCC was set to be back in action Tuesday at Pensacola State and will play at Marion Military Wednesday.
The Warhawks will return home Tuesday, Feb. 22, against Northwest Florida State in a nine inning game at 2 p.m.
