David's Trophies Tigers muster unbeaten season
from staff reports
The David's Trophies Detroit Tigers pee-wee team
played a double-header on Saturday, and walked away with wins
over the Braves and Rockies, plus an undefeated regular season.
First up for the Tigers (12-0) were the Braves,
and defense helped mold a 26-4 David's Trophies win.
Dylan Wiseman, who has been consistent all year,
had a great glove. Christopher Johnson showed a great arm
and gunned the ball to third twice.
Johnson also helped out with his bat in the fourth
inning, in which the Tigers scored 17 runs. Cory Walker banged
two inside-the-park home runs in the inning.
The Tigers then faced the Rockies, and continued
the runs as Aaron Price hit a grand slam in the second frame
of a 21-4 decision.
Nick Campbell and Walker tagged back-to-back
inside-the-park homers in the third. Bradley Townsend caught
a bullet at shortstop to end the game.
Friday's Game
Tigers 17
Cardinals 5
The Tigers started the first inning off with
blazing bats, bringing in seven boys with the help of Nick
Campbell's inside-the-park homer.
Cody Wilson, the Tigers third baseman, was given
a workout in the third as the Cardinals hit the ball his way
several times.
Wilson made some great catches to get the Tigers
out of the inning.
Cody Guess, who played a solid catcher all season,
contributed with his bat and his glove.
