MILLINGTON, Tenn. -- T.J. Arbuckle gave Dyer County a dose of the slow stuff Wednesday morning.
Changing speeds effectively, Arbuckle led Grundy County past Dyer, 7-2, in the losers bracket of the Class AA state baseball tournament.
"He was throwing off-speed, and they couldn't handle it,'' Grundy County coach Tom Melton said.
Grundy improved to 2-1 after never winning in two previous state tournament appearances.
The Yellow Jackets will face unbeaten Milan in the upper bracket of Class AA on Thursday morning at 10 a.m. at the USA Baseball Stadium. If Grundy wins, it will play Milan again, and with another win would advance to the final against the winner of the lower bracket.
Arbuckle gave up only three hits, struck out 10 and walked one. He was also 2-for-4 with two RBI.
Brandon Willoughby was also 2-for-4 for Grundy (33-8) and Jeremy Melton was 1-for-4 with a double and one RBI.
