Tigers Take Opening Weekend


After a disappointing end to the day on Saturday, it was great to see the Tigers bounce back and take the deciding game of the weekend series, especially being on the road. With a young team, early wins are all good wins, even the ugly ones. Mike Panozzo and Kyle Felix (left) led the way for the Tigers, bringing some much needed upperclass leadership to a critical early-season game. Panozzo pitched beautifully, striking out 8 over 7 innings while allowing 2 runs, both unearned. Felix was 4-5 at the plate and turned in another terrific effort behind the plate, limiting Schreiner on the basepaths and handling balls in the dirt.

Tomorrow's game against a solid UMHB team will be a tough test for the Tigers. Coach Micah Wells always prepares his teams well, and the trip to Belton is no easy task. Game time is 2 pm tomorrow before the Tigers return home for a SCAC battle vs. Austin College this weekend.
