Herald Article
Crafty veteran Dave Kreft got the nod on the hill for the Tigers and pitched a shade under seven innings, giving up two earned runs and fanning three on his way to the win. Kreft got plenty of run support, which has been a rarity for Kreft thus far this season. The Tigers were swinging hot bats and notched eight runs through the first three innings. Despite what you may have heard, Brett Kruschke and his so-called “Rally Gear” had nothing to do with these runs, although he did look rather ridiculous coming out and congratulating his teammates in brand new, bright red catcher’s gear that he will need a couple more years to grow into.
The Tiger’s had a season high 17 hits. Pat Schultz and Tim Schuster each had three while Ben Jass added two with a bat crafted by his 6 th hour shop class. Jass also pitched two innings in relief and withstood the Brownton surge in the ninth which gave Team Tiger a minor scare.
