The Longmont Tigers opened their 2010 season with a 17-2 victory over the JM Roughriders on Monday night.
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.
Overall, it was just fantastic to see the boys finally get back on the field and play.
The Tigers have a 9-day break until their next game. They’ll take on the Longmont Falcons, on Wednesday, April 21, at Sandstone Ranch in Longmont. Be sure to check our calendar for details, and come out and support the Tigers!

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!
