Tigers Post First Win of 2009

Posted by admin on May 5, 2009 under News | Be the First to Comment

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.

Go Tigers!
