Tigers kept their respective diamonds busy this past week as they both tipped off their seasons. The ladies played host to Timpson in their home opener February 21 and were down 2-0 entering the third when Miah Richardson scampered home after an errant throw to first by the Lady Bear catcher on a strikeout to make it 2-1. A three run fourth and a four run fifth from Timpson doomed the ladies as they would fall 10-1.
