The Dawson County High School baseball team was finally able to host a game for the first time this season. Due to rainy weather, the Tigers have either had to cancel or move their home games to road games for the first month of the season. But on Friday, the skies were clear allowing Dawson County to host a doubleheader against Fannin County. After coming up short at Fannin County, 7-6, on March 6, the Tigers (5-6, 1-2 Region 7-AAA) split the home doubleheader with the Rebels (7-4, 2-1 Region 7-AAA), winning the first game 9-4 and taking the 16-12 loss in the second game of the region-opening series. The March 6 loss was a tough one as the Tigers were up 6-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, but that’s when the Fannin County bats got hot. The Rebels scored three runs in the sixth inning, followed by four in the seventh to steal the game from the Tigers, 7-6.
