The Tigers dropped game 1 vs EB 10-9. On bring your child to work day, the only thing that made it on the bus were the Tiger bats. Dom Massaro (4-4 3 2b 2 rbi) did his thing & Aiden McCarthy cracked a grand slam late to make it a one run game, but the bats went to ice after that and the Tigers record now stands at 7-6. Congrats to Andrew Burns on getting his first career varsity hit. Back home today for game 2 of the series.
