CUTrevor 2025-05-10 13:36:12

Ugh Titsworth gives up a solo HR with one out. He didn't get all of it, either. It was a fly to right that barely carried over the fence. The center fielder did the same thing in the 1st yesterday! He was 4-5 last night and raised his average from about .280 from .295.

Crighton flies out to end the inning.

TIGERS LEAD 6-1 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 14:15:48

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 14:31:58

DOUBLE PLAY!!! Just like the 9th last night! Tigers have dodged two big bases-loaded bullets in the last 3 innings.

TIGERS LEAD 6-5 AFTER 6.

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 16:27:32

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 16:28:42

Wentworth's first pitch is wild, and Duke almost scores again.

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 16:42:40

Good grief another walk makes it 9-6! That's 3 walks, a HBP and a huge error with just one single. If not for that error, the Tigers would be batting right now with a 6-5 lead!

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 16:43:24

Wentworth gives up a 2-run single! Unbelievable! 10 unanswered runs by Duke makes it 11-6. Still 2 outs with corners.

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 16:50:40

Purify makes a great diving play to finally end the inning. Yet his error on a routine double play ball cost them 10 runs!

TIGERS TRAIL 15-6 AT THE STRETCH.

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 16:55:18

Right after they showed softball winning the championship, the wheels came completely off! Distraction perhaps?

Jarrell draws a leadoff walk on full count.

CUTrevor 2025-05-10 16:58:54
