Dillard Has Coming Out Party Against Spartans
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Jay Dillard has always been the consummate teammate. The prototypical team-first guy.
Over his first three seasons with the Tigers, most of Dillard’s contributions came from the dugout. They came in the form of loudly cheering on his team and providing insight wherever he could.
However, that all changed on Wednesday. A career .118 hitter coming into the season, Dillard was inserted into the starting lineup at third base against Michigan State on Wednesday night. What resulted was a career night at the plate, with Dillard going 2-for-3 with a homer, a double, a walk and four RBI in the 12-1 run-rule victory.
