The Tigers rolled into Franklin for the BPA Fall Championship knowing it would be our toughest test yet. That's why we came! Starting Saturday with pool play, we knew it was for seeding but came to win. We started out slowly and never did get on track in a game one loss to the Memphis Force. Leaving a ton of base runners stranded cost us a game. In our 3rd game of the day, basically in a row, our worn out Tigers playing a good Smyrna Strom team playing their first game of the day could not get it done, BUT game two is what we really came here for.
The absolute class of the area, the Tennesse Blast who combined from the Tennessee Thunder and Cavaliers, squared off against our Tigers. Logan pitched a great game and Johnny came in for the save in an 8-4 win capped off by a huge 3 run homer by Logan that had everyone talking. The whole team played like they could and it was on to Sunday.
With their ace on the mound the Tigers once again met the Blast in the semifinals. We countered with Chris and the war was on. This bunch fought like crazy, going back and forth and eventually knocked out their hoss in a fourth inning rally. But even with some outstanding plays along the way, and a great job all game by Chris, in the end a couple of base running mistakes combined with a couple of mental errors cost us the game in a 7-5 loss. The Blast coaches came to our guys and told them they were as good as any team they had played this year. We were even invited to an Elite team tournament for next Summer! Not bad for a 1 and 3 team. We are close, real close, to being where we want to be. We are still young as a team and have to LEARN how to win, know mentally what it takes. We will go anywhere to GET THERE.
