CHAMPS II!
Just days after securing the Longmont Baseball League 11U AA regular season title with a 10-7 win over the Berthoud Spartans, the Longmont Tigers headed into the LBL end of year Tournament.
As the #1 seed going into day one of the two-day tournament, the Tigers drew the #4 seeded Longmont Force in the 9 AM opener. In a high-scoring, exciting game, the Tigers scored 5 runs in the top of the 5th inning and held on for a 17-14 victory.
The next matchup was with the #3 seeded Berthoud Spartans – a rematch of the season ending game for both teams just a few days prior. The Spartans again proved to be a tough opponent – avenging their loss of the past week with an 8-7 victory over the Tigers.
An exciting day of baseball ended with the Tigers at 1-1 slotted as the #4 seed headed into Day two. The Tigers first squared off against the #5 seeded Longmont Titans in the 9 AM contest. Refreshed after a nights rest – our Tigers surprised the Titans and put them away 19-9 in just 3 innings.
Next up for the Tigers were the #1 seeded Longmont Wolves. The Wolves went 2-0 in the first day of the tournament and earned the day-two bye. In one of the most exciting games the Tigers played all season, RJ pitched a complete game and the Tigers pulled out a 10-6 win.
In the championship game, the Tigers yet again matched up with the Berthoud Spartans. Berthoud, the #3 seed in day-two, advanced to the championship by taking out the Longmont Force in the 11:15 AM game.
In the third-game of the day for the Tigers, starting at 4 PM, the Tigers had quite a challenge in front of them. Casey pitched 5 strong innings and RJ came in to close the game out. Both teams played their hearts out through 6 full innings. This game came down to the bottom of the sixth – with runners on the corners, and the tying run at the plate, Berthoud popped up an infield fly to end the game. The Tigers held on for an amazing 16-13 win to take the Tournament championship.
The Tigers are Champs again for the second time in 4 days!
Once again, what a season for the Tigers! 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 the Tigers are on to State! The Longmont Tigers have 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!

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.

Major League Baseball may as well look at Colorado as a new Spring Training locale. Yahoo Sports reports that first pitchers and catchers will report to Spring Training in just three days, on February 12th. As well, we are only 15 days away from the first MLB Spring Training games!
Good for them – but the Longmont Tigers, like many youth baseball teams around the country, are already underway. Winter! Pshaw!
Okay, maybe Colorado winter isn’t quite mild or predictable enough for MLB spring training, but is has fortunately been good enough for the Tigers to get underway.
It has been great for players and coaches alike to get outside and get to work on preparations upcoming season. We couldn’t be more excited for the season!
Also, don’t forget, Longmont Baseball League is having tryouts this coming Saturday and the Tigers are looking to fill one or two spots for the coming season. If you are interested in potentially joining, please contact our coaches right away.
