Tigers fight for the win

By Greg Tinkler

Results – Round 13
BM Tigers 10 def Alfredton 7

Top of ladder BM Tigers and Alfredton, separated by only two points, fought out a great game of baseball which kept the spectators entertained.

Alfredton’s pitcher Dan Hamilton started well and held Tigers scoreless for the first two innings, while Alfredton’s batting put them out in the lead with four runs off Tigers pitcher Shannon Hornstra.

Then in the top of the third innings the Tigers got their bats going and overtook Alfredton with seven runs scored, most noticeably doubles from Thomas Shaw and James Bailey.

Tigers made a pitching change after Alfredton scored another three runs in the bottom of the third with both teams neck and neck with seven runs each. Assigning James Early to the mound proved very effective as he closed out the innings and the rest of the game without permitting Alfredton any further hits or runs. Meanwhile Tigers continued to bat well gaining an additional game winning three runs.

This week – Tigers v Bellarine (H) Sunday 30 July, 1pm.
