Tigers Baseball lost last night to the Leeton Bulldogs 17-1. Abrahm Rivas had his first RBI as a high school player, and Ethan Crawford scored his first run. Austin Warner pitched well at times, had trouble finding the strike zone, and is nursing a sore arm. Abrahm came in and did a nice job for his first time on the mound. The Tigers gave the Bulldogs too many outs, and are committed to work harder on defense. The Tigers have also struggled from the plate this year, but have shown improvement in the cage. The Tigers suit it up again on Thursday, at home, against Warsaw.

Athletic Updates for 3/28: Baseball and Softball games for today are on as scheduled. Both contests will have first pitch at 4:30 p.m. Baseball is playing Leeton in a Varsity only contest, and Softball is playing Butler in a Varsity contest followed be a shortened JV 3/3/3 contest. Good Luck Tigers!
