The Longmont Tigers rolled into Boulder Tuesday night looking to rope one of the Longmont Baseball League leaders – the Boulder Bison.
The Tigers’ bats were luke warm at best, generating no runs in the opening half inning on one hit, a K and two long Fly Outs.
Boulder broke through quickly in the bottom of the first taking two walks and scoring on an error, to go up 0-1 on the Tigers.
The second inning was a pitching and defensive showcase by both clubs, each team picking a runner of a base, and moving into the third with the score still 0-1 to the Bison.
Ultimately the Tigers’ bats never caught any heat, and the Bisons’ warmed up just enough – they added 7 runs while the Tigers added just 1 the rest of the way.
An exciting game to watch, unfortunately ended in a somewhat lopsided loss for Longmont, 1-8.
The Tigers are always moving ahead! Next up, the Tigers head back to Windsor for the Greeley/Windsor May Daze tournament.
The fellas open against the Ft. Collins Stampede at 9 AM Saturday and then match up with the Eastern Colorado Cobras at 1 PM. Longmont and the LBL will also be represented by the Longmont Force and the Berthoud Spartans. Should be a great weekend for baseball!

The Longmont Tigers tallied their first loss in just their second game of the season to the Longmont Falcons 0-3 on Wednesday night.
This was a pitching and defensive showcase by both teams. The Tigers and Falcons both turned double plays, had put outs at the plate, and pitched strong, resulting in an exciting, scoreless game through 2 1/2 innings.
The Tigers were the first to crack, in the 3rd inning – giving up 3 walks. 3 runs then scored on 2 throwing errors in the field.
The Tigers did regroup on pitching and defense, keeping their chances for a comeback alive, allowing only 2 hits and striking out 3 Falcons the rest of the way.
Ultimately the Tigers never found the handle on offense in this one - and the Falcons never did crack. With rain pouring in the bottom of the fifth, and time nearly out, the game was called at 0-3 – a win for the Falcons.
The Tigers head into a busy 5-day stretch of games, starting Friday with a 5:30 PM opener versus the Louisville Predators in the King Lyles Memorial Tournament in Denver. Saturday’s slate has the Tigers facing the Longmont Stealth at 10 AM and the Eaton Reds at 2 PM.

The Roughriders jumped to an early 2-0 lead after the top of the first – however the Tigers quickly responded with 6 runs in the bottom half.
In the second inning, great pitching and defense were on display as the Roughriders were put away in a 3-pitch, 1, 2, 3 inning, all with put-outs in the field.
The Tigers then put some offense together, adding 9 runs to take a well-earned 15-2 lead.
The Tigers’ defense held strong again in the top of the third, yielding no runs to the determined Roughriders. Ultimately two more runs scored by the Tigers in the bottom of the third finished the game – a 17-2 victory.
The Tigers demonstrated a great team effort, on offense and defense – and with solid pitching. The Roughriders 2 runs came on a walk and a wild pitch, so this was a no-hitter by the Tigers.
