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!

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.

Be sure to check our Calendar – we’d love to see you out at the games!

Go Tigers!
