The Tigers took a 2-1 lead into the 9th, only to watch Victoria string together three hits – including a two-run, game-winning double from Clark Poppitz – to win 3-2. Shane Hofmann went the distance for Belle Plaine, scattering ten hits and taking the tough loss. There was one out when Poppitz delivered his game-clinching blow.
Pat Schultz was literally the Tiger offense, collecting three of the team’s five hits, including an RBI-triple in the sixth. Nick Volek drove in the other Tiger run on an infield grounder in the 7th, giving the Tigers a 2-1 lead that would hold until the perilous ninth.
The Tigers played near-flawless defense, committing only one gaffe on the night. Shortstop Brad Lawson was particularly stellar in the field, according to eye-witness reports.
