In a game which was controlled by pitching and defense through the first 4 innings (0-0 through 4), Blue Mountain was able to push across 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th, with a couple hits, and a few Tigers errors in the inning. That would be more than enough runs on this day. Next up on the schedule for the Tigers is the conference opener, against rival Northern Lehigh.
