The Troy Dixie Boys kicked off their District Tournament with a 13-2 win over Geneva on Friday night.

“We only had a couple of hiccups defensively and running the bases,” said head coach David Bradford. “For this to be our first game as a tournament team, I am extremely proud of our team. As we progress in the tournament, the competition will get tougher and those little things will hurt us.

Cade Renfroe got the start for Troy in the opening win. Renfroe pitched five innings and gave up one earned run.

“In the age of pitch counts he did an outstanding job throwing strikes and trusting his defense to make plays,” Bradford said.

Troy finished with 15 hits led by Landon Tyler, who finished 3-5 with three doubles. KC Bradford, Phenix Griffin, Damien Hart and Will Templin all had two hits.

With the win, Troy advances to the winner’s bracket where they will play Enterprise today beginning at 1 p.m.
