Dillard University Crushes Oakwood in a Lopsided Baseball Match

NEW ORLEANS– In an emphatic display of offensive prowess, Dillard University dominated Oakwood University (AL) with a resounding 26-2 victory in their baseball clash on February 13, 2025.

Dillard's offensive onslaught was evident from the start, scoring consistently across the innings and finishing the game with 20 hits. The fireworks began in the first inning with Derrald Moore Jr.'s home run, setting the tone for a relentless performance. By the second inning, Dillard had extended their lead to 5-1 and continued to pile on runs, including a standout 11-run charge in the fourth inning.

Braylon Guerin was the standout performer for Dillard, contributing significantly with six RBIs, including a triple in the second inning and several singles that helped build a commanding lead. Moore Jr. and Tyler Fitch also had impressive outings, each contributing multiple runs and RBIs. Dillard effectively capitalized on Oakwood's fielding errors, further compounding their opponent's difficulties.

Oakwood's offense struggled to make a mark, managing only two runs. J. Mack and M. Dalrymple managed to score, with Mack earning an RBI, but the team couldn't keep pace with Dillard's high-powered offense. Oakwood's defense also faltered, committing two errors, which Dillard exploited efficiently.

On the pitching front, Dillard's Jorge Guerra and Landin Tircuit combined to effectively shut down Oakwood's lineup, collectively allowing only two runs and striking out five batters over five innings. In contrast, Oakwood's pitcher, D. Cobb, faced a tough outing, giving up 26 runs across four innings.

This comprehensive victory highlights Dillard's strength and depth in batting and strategic base running, with multiple players contributing to the win. Oakwood, on the other hand, will need to regroup and address their defensive lapses and pitching challenges as they move forward in their season.

The game, which lasted two hours, was held without an audience, but the display on the field will certainly resonate with fans and analysts alike, underscoring Dillard's potential as a dominant force this season.
