CEDAR FALLS -- Michael Rooney's two-out, two-run single keyed a five-run rally in the seventh inning of the nightcap that cemented a split for Jefferson against Cedar Falls in a Mississippi Valley Conference baseball doubleheader Friday night.

Jefferson dropped the opener 4-1 but came back to take the nightcap, 8-1. Chance Tiedtke tossed a complete game two-hitter for the J-Hawks (5-7, 3-5) in the nightcap. Rooney and Jordan McCormick were 2-for-4.

Jefferson scored a pair of unearned runs in the fifth inning to take a 3-1 lead. The J-Hawks had five hits and were helped by six Cedar Falls errors.

Alex Larson and Tanner Unkel were 2-for-4 in the opener. Larson started at pitcher and took the loss.

Andrew Kloos scattered eight hits, walked one and struck out two in the opener for Cedar Falls (3-5, 4-9). Kloos worked out of jams in the sixth and seventh innings, leaving the bases loaded to end the game.
