Michigan vs Crothersville

Today the Tiger baseball team traveled to Austin to play Tri County, a team from Michigan. The Tiger's home field was too wet to play in Crothersville. Austin was playing Sparta, another team from Michigan at 2PM this afternoon, so they were kind enough to let their neighbors use their facility.

Tri County is a school of approximately 700 students in high school and a class 2A school. Their school is around 25 miles from Grand Rapids, Michigan. They are on spring break and traveling to their next regional tournament game.

Since they were traveling through our area, they contacted our athletic director to see if they could play our team. It was interesting to see if they were any different than our team. They weren't. Their team consisted of 4 seniors, 10 juniors, and 2 sophomores. They were a bit older than our team, but we were still able to play the game against them.

During warm ups, Patrick was able to field the ball and make a good throw to Dalton at first.

The Tigers managed 6 runs in 6 innings. Patrick scored the first run for the Tigers on a walk. His second at bat for the afternoon was also a walk but he failed to make it home.

In his final at bat in the fifth inning, the pitcher finally threw some strikes. After a couple foul tips, Tri County's pitcher finally got the best of Patrick and he stuck out, swinging and missing the last pitch.

Final score of the afternoon was Tri County 17, Crothersville 6.

Four baseball games and a golf match will make for a busy week, but hopefully I'll manage some more pictures to share. Stay tuned.
