Tigers host baseball tournament

Getting in their last tourney before plunging headlong into the final district schedule, the Tigers hosted again. DS would finish with a 2-3 record. Early they faced the opponents top pitchers and could not come up with hits or runs. By the fourth and fifth games, pitching had run thin and the score totals eased up. They opened with Bowie and fell 2-1. Smithson Valley blanked the Tigers 3-0 and Sinton expanded the scoreless innings with a 2-0 win. What was expected to be a good game blew up immediately as it was obvious Westlake had run out of pitching. Two pitchers in the first inning faced 17 batters, gave up six walks, five wild pitches and when they did get it over the plate the Tigers stroked out six hits to cross the plate 12 times. Tigers continued for the 18-5 win. The final game was against RR Westwood. Westwood could not hold a 6-3 margin going into the bottom of the seventh as the Tigers scored four to win 7-6.

Two regularly scheduled games were held during the break. One was a district game with Boerne Champion and they fell easily 10-0. It was kudos to the coaches in the McCallum game. Usually a non-district game is treated with disdain as substitutions are readily made and it does not turn into much of a game. However, both coaches treated it as an important game, playing all starters the entire game and the fans got treated to a 10-inning 4-3 Tiger win.
