The Lady Tigers looked nervous as they took the field on Aug. 3 against the visiting Denmark Danes and, despite flashes of brilliance throughout the game, quickly fell in four innings by a final score of 14-1 to open the 2019 fall campaign in a game that answered a lot of questions according to assistant coach Logan Allen. “I think the first game of the season is very important,” Allen said. “It sets the tone for the year and answers a lot of questions.” Featuring sophomore Olivia Martinez in her varsity pitching debut and anchored by returning starter Bella Henson at shortstop the Lady Tigers debuted a team looking to rebuild after the loss of six seniors to graduation in 2018.
