The Tigers fought hard to comeback from down seven runs but fall just short to lose 6-8 against Harker Heights High School. Lucy-Liu Gaines started on the mound for the Tigers with 2 strikeouts and 5 earned runs. The Tiger defense struggled to shut down the Knights offense with only 2 scoreless innings. Although a double play from Andalyn Logan and Ramsey Evans Curran helped change the tide for the Tigers in the bottom of the 4th inning. In the 5th inning Miley Davila took the mound and was able to get 1 strikeout and 1 earned run. On offense the Tigers were slow to start and did not score a run until the 4th inning when Logan hits a sacrifice fly ball to left to score Iris Molina. Top hitters on the day for the Tigers were Evans-Curran with 2 singles and Logan with a triple and a 3 run home run to push the Tigers within 2 runs. It was a tough fought battle for the Tigers tonight, but catch varsity back in action with 3 games on Friday in Austin Hyde Park Tournament.
