Springfield Cardinals Captures Lead Early

to Defeat SJ Tigers

Sunday, June 24, 2018 - The SJ Tigers watched the game slip away early and couldn't recover in a 13-6 loss to Springfield Cardinals on Sunday.  Springfield Cardinals got things moving early by scoring two runs in the first inning and five in the second inning. The Tigers fought back and scored 3 runs in the third inning. But, poor defense by the Tigers allowed the Cardinals to score four additional runs in the fourth inning, one in the fifth, and one in the sixth to seal the deal and take the win.  The Tigers tried to unsuccessfully come back by scoring two more in the seventh inning and another one in the ninth inning.

The Tigers offensive firepower was led by  Brian Halfin, Nicky Riploi, George Turner and Joe McGuire each collected multiple hits. Nicky  and Brian each collected four hits while George and Joe each collected two hits. Brian led the Tigers with 3 RBIs.

Elin Mena (Amaury) was on the hill for the SJ Tigers. He allowed four hits and seven runs over two innings. Brian Halfin relieved Amaury in the third inning allowing 6 runs over 6 innings, striking out four. Brian was the losing pitcher.

S.J Tigers return to action on Sunday, July 1, 2018 against the Harpers Assault at our home field, Babe Ruth field, in Cherry Hill, NJ.
