CHAMPS!

The Longmont Tigers earned a victory over the Berthoud Spartans yesterday, 10-7,  in a close, hard fought game by both teams.

The win officially wrapped up the regular season title for the Tigers in Longmont Baseball League 11U AA competition.

What a season for the Tigers!  After starting 0-2 in League play, with losses to the Wolves and Stealth, the Tigers pulled together and went to work on improving as a baseball team.

The Tigers immediately bounced back with two quick wins and have never looked back.  Over the remainder of May and June, the Tigers posted an impressive 11-1 record after the 0-2 start, to finish in first place at 11-3! This includes a current 7-game win streak in LBL play.

This is a fantastic achievement for this first year team – made up of many players who are playing together for the first time.  Parents and Coaches have contributed significantly with guidance & support, but all credit goes to the hard working Tigers players!

Congratulations to AJ, Alex, Alex D., Casey, Conner, Jordan, Logan, Sebi, Shane, RJ, Reilly, and Zach on a great regular season!

Next for the Tigers is the LBL end of season Tournament – to be held this coming weekend June 27th and 28th.  Details can be found here at the LBL site.  After that it is on to State!  The Longmont Tigers have also earned a berth in the State Tournament – to be held July 10th-13th.  Be sure to check our Calendar for details!

We’d love to have you out for a game!

Go Tigers!  Champs!
