Thexoach 2024-03-24 11:18:33

Good afternoon Tiger fans, I am live at Doug Kingsmore Stadium for game 3 between the Tigers and the Semoinoles. Yesterday was a whirlwind of emotions from the run rule 15-5 victory by the Tigers in game 1 to the Miracle at the Doug in game 2. We will see if the emotions from yesterday will carry over to today as the Tigers go for a sweep of the Seminoles. First pitch at 1:02pm and I will have live play by play right here.

Thanks, Chris, I'll have your post-game interviews posted shortly!

What a sweep! Tigers should be No.1 this week for the first time since 2007! Blake Wright will certainly be National Player of the Week and is now a prime candidate for Golden Spikes along with Cannarella. Wright hit grand slams in the last 2 games, homered in each game of the series and has homered in 4 straight games. He has 6 homers in those 4 games and 8 in the last 8 games! He has 21 RBI's in the last 5 games and is now batting .365 with 13 HR's, tied for 3rd nationally.

What a time to be a Tiger!
