Tigard Tigers Baseball 5-6 Century

A promising rally fell just short for Tigard as the Tigers dropped their season opener 6-5 to Century on Tuesday afternoon. The non-league baseball matchup saw both teams trade runs in what became a pitcher's duel that went down to the wire.

Tigard showed fight throughout the contest, keeping pace with the home team and demonstrating the competitive spirit that could serve them well as the season progresses. Despite taking the loss, the Tigers proved they can hang with quality opponents, with the single-run margin suggesting this team has the pieces to compete.

The early-season non-league contest provided valuable experience for a Tigard squad that will look to build on the positives from their near-miss performance. With league play still ahead, the Tigers have plenty of time to fine-tune their approach both at the plate and on the mound.

Tigard will look to even their record and capture their first win of the campaign when they return to action later this week.
