Great job today tigers! Another trip to state! We beat Carrollton 3-2 and I had a solo home run in the eighth to put us up by one!!! I also had a 9-3 put out!! Let’s go tigers as state on Friday!! We play at 12:30 at Peoria Sluggers complex for state!!
Illini Bluffs freshman Sara Finn has one of the best approaches at the plate for any young player I've ever seen. The Tigers standout simply does not have bad at-bats. So when she was 0-for-2 and stepped up in the 8th inning--I kind of expected this-
Finn says Finish!
Great job tonight Tigers! 11-1 win tonight against Farmington! Went 3 for 3 and had 2 home runs and an intentional walk! Let’s keep it going tomorrow against Brimfield at Illini Bluffs at 4:30! Good job today Zoe Eeten who does not have twitter but was my home run buddy today!!
