TIgers Split Opening Day vs. Schreiner

The 2010 Season is underway, and although the team would have loved a sweep, they will have to settle with an opening day split against the Schreiner Mountaineers. Noah Solomon got the win in game 1, exiting in the 5th inning after pitching beautifully as the opening-day starter. The Tigers ended up slugging their way to a 15-10 victory. Evan Jones and Kyle Felix both proved why they have gotten the attention they have, squaring up ball after ball all day long. Felix also did a great job behind the plate. Coach Zach Fregosi had this to say about Kyle after tonight's game: "Kyle did exactly what we need him to do. He handled pitches, blocked, and kept the running game to a minimum. If he can continue on that path, the pitching staff will only get better and more comfortable throwing to him."

The Tigers suffered a scare in the first game when Evan Jones rolled his ankle on a play at first base. He continued to play the rest of the day, and his status for todays game at Schreiner is probable. Trinity squares off for the conclusion of the 3-game set today at Schreiner at 1 pm, sending Jr. Mike Panozzo to the bump.
