sports@joplinglobe.com Joplin’s bats came to life in the last three innings, but the Eagles’ comeback fell short as Nixa held on for a 7-6 victory Tuesday afternoon at the Joplin High School baseball field. Nixa scored in four of the first five innings and owned a 7-0 lead after 41/2 innings. The Eagles, hitless through four innings, tallied three runs in the fifth on a solo home run by Shayne Hoke, run-scoring double by Dane Kolkmeyer and RBI groundout by Travis Kunce. Joplin pulled within 7-6 in the seventh on Kunce’s solo home run and Taylor Byrd’s two-run triple with one out. But Nixa retired the next two hitters on a called third strike and a ground ball to third. Five of the Eagles’ seven hits went for extra bases. Byrd had a single in addition to his triple, and Barrett Noirfalise had a double. Joplin (0-2) heads to Oklahoma for the Tiger-Trojan Classic, hosted by Jenks and Broken Arrow. The Eagles play Sand Springs at 2:30 p.m. Thursday in Jenks, and they have games Friday in Broken Arrow against Tulsa Memorial at 5 and Broken Arrow at 7:30. On Saturday the Eagles play host Jenks at noon, and a final game on Saturday will be determined by standings from the two pools. McAuley 11, College Heights 7 Jerome Davis drove in four runs as McAuley Catholic tripped College Heights Christian School at Joe Becker Stadium for its first victory of the season.
