TYLER - Because of the structure of the NJCAA, the TJC baseball team only plays 7 conference games every year. Those 7 are all against Coastal Bend...and their first series of the year got started in Tyler on Friday.
The game started a little slow as both teams traded sacrifice flys. But in the 4th, TJC blew it wide open as they put 6 runs on the board. And the Apaches would need most of those runs as they held on to win 9-6.
These two teams will play 2 more games in Tyler over the weekend. Saturday, they'll meet at 6:30 PM, then Sunday they'll wrap up the series at 1:00 PM
