Tigers Win!

Holden's 13-14 Tigers played a big game tonight against one of the arch rivals - the Diamond Kings.  The Diamond Kings jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first inning.  The Tigers came back in the second and took a 3-2 lead after the 2nd inning.  The third inning was an eventful inning as the Diamond Kings retook the lead 4-3 in the top of the inning - but the Tigers rallied back in the bottom of the inning and scored 3 runs to lead 6-4.  Holden Hall drew a bases loaded walk to bring one of the runs in - his second walk in the game.  The fourth inning- the Diamond Kings loaded the bases - but they got out of the jam with a strikeout and a pop out to the catcher (Holden).  The Tigers added two more insurance runs in the bottom of the fourth and shut down the Diamond Kings in the top of the 5th to end the game.

Holden - played catcher all game - made a great play on a wild pitch - scrambling back to the backstop and making a perfect toss to the pitcher to prevent a run.  The Tigers have a big game against the Thunder - a team that crushed us last time out - we are a little better set up with our pitchers this time - as the last time we faced them - it was after our 2nd place finish in the Lawson Brandon 1st Annual Tournament - where the team played 5 games in two days.  Unfortunately, we are still down a catcher who is nursing a sore arm - which puts Holden behind the plate tomorrow - and hurts our team in the field.

Holden also has a Track Meet tomorrow - where he runs the 800 meters.  So - busy day tomorrow - Holden's Track Meet, Mal's playoff game, then Holden's baseball game.  Stay tuned for the results tomorrow!
