The Tigers matched up this past week with the Berthoud Spartans of the Longmont Baseball League for a double header.
Entering the game at 4-1 in league play, the Spartans were expected to be a good test for the Tigers.
The first game was well played by both teams, and ended with the Tigers falling just short 12-14.
Falling just short apparently didn’t sit well with the Tigers as they stormed back to take the second game 16-1. This puts the Tigers at 5-3 in League play and 6-5 overall.
As a first-year team, the Tigers are really beginning to play well together, competing with some of the areas best teams, like the Spartans.

It took three games for the Longmont Tigers to finally broke through and nab their first win on the 2009 season.
The Tigers opened the season last Wednesday in a match up with the Longmont Wolves. A very slow start for the Tigers dogged them for 3-innings. Combined with big hits and good play from the Wolves, the Tigers fell 7-14.
In their second attempt at a victory in 2009, the Tigers took on the Longmont Stealth. A much better effort was displayed by the Tigers in this one, however the effort still short. The Tigers were within one or two runs until the late innings when the Stealth also keyed some big hits and pulled away. Tigers 8, Stealth 15.
Victory could not elude the hard working Tigers forever, and today against the Titans, the Tigers finally put a complete game together. Aside from a few defensive issues here and there, the boys really hit the ball well, ran the bases smart, and played solid overall. Tigers win 15 – 5 – great to see the boys hard work pay off!
Their effort continues with practice tomorrow, three games and a tournament coming up through the middle of May.
Be sure to check our Calendar – we’d love to see you out at the games!
Go Tigers!
