The Hudson Falls Tigers will head out to face off against the Queensbury Spartans at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Hudson Falls had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Amsterdam on Monday. The Tigers blew past the Rams 13-1. Winning may never get old, but the Tigers sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
