Two-headed pitching monster rips Tigers to shreads. Starter Tyler Simon and reliever Scott Duncan combined for a 1 hit shut-out. Of the 18 outs recorded, 13 were by strike-out! The Tigers did manage to get a runner to 3rd in the top of the 3rd inning when Cyrus Madahvi reached on a two-base error and stole 3rd. No problem for Tyler who struck out 3 of the next 4 batters with a walk to Raphael Santiago.
Eric Hughes got the Bulldogs all the runs needed in the top of the third. He walked, stole 2nd, reached 3rd on a wild pitch and scored on a pass ball. Matt Hills got the second run of the inning in similar fashion: BB, SB, WP, E. The Tigers got a good performance out of pitcher Tyler Roe, but the defense let him down with plenty of errors.
Offensive highlights:
· Third baseman Rocky Branagan went 3 for 4, 2 single and a double. Matt Hills had a double, Clint VanTilborg and AJ Glasshoff each had a hit.
· Rocky Branagan lead the Bulldogs with 4 RBI's, AJ Glasshoff had 1
Pitching highlights:
· Tyler Simon went 3 innings, 7K, 0H, 2BB 0 ER
· Scott Duncan went 3 innings, 6K, 1H, 1BB 0 ER
