Tigers Too Tame Versus Bison

Posted by admin on April 28, 2010 under News | 2 Comments to Read

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!
