Coaches comments: Coaches comments:
Ken Campbell - "We know we have a tough challenge at hand, as is every weekend in this conference. Any time you go on the road, it is a battle. We are
fighting some key injuries right now and getting everyone back and healthy will be one key for us. We will have to be ready to play at the top of our game this weekend in order to have a chance, because Hiwassee will definitely be ready to play."		 Jerry Edwards - "This is going to be a tough week-end.  Walters is very good.  They have great pitching, they swing the bats great and they play great defense. Our pitchers are going to have to really compete this weekend for us to have a chance.  We are not swinging the bats real well right now.  We
have got to get better production from the bottom of our order. If our pitchers throw well we could have three good games.  If we struggle and let their off-ense get on a roll it could be a really long weekend.  I
know their pitchers are going to throw well.  I hope we go out and compete, and if we do it is going to be an exciting weekend.  "

Senators erupt for 4 runs in the 1st and two more in the second to take a commanding lead early.  The tigers fought back the entire game but made to many mistakes offensively and defensively to ever have a chance. In the bottom of the eighth the Tigers had runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out but couldn't manage to get a big hit when it needed one.

The Senators win the series 2-1.  They jumped out to an early 9-0 lead.  The Tigers fought hard  and scored four runs in the bottom of the 7th, but didn't have enough to pull out the victory.

 
                           
Series Wrap-up - "This series was a good hard fought series. Walters did exactly what I thought they would do, get good pitching, play good defense, and swing
the bat well.  We played hard all weekend but we played from behind way too much. We made to many mistakes and when you play a good team like Walters you can't do that and expect to win. I like the way our team
competed but we have to get better in all three phases of the game in order to win in this league," said Jerry Edwards.
