Tigers tamed in opening games The South Okanagan Minor Baseball Association Tigers lost their first two games of the season. The Tigers opened the season in Chilliwack and lost 4-3 and 4-2. Tigers coach Junior Deleon said his players showed a lot of composure after the tough loss in the first game. The second game was tied at two until the sixth inning. “The team has gotten younger this season, but the depth on the team has grown,” said Deleon in an email. “The younger guys that have come up from bantam this year have lots of skill, as well as drive. When you have a younger core pushing the older boys, in turn it makes the program better.” The Tigers are back on the road in Vancouver Saturday and Tri-Cities on Sunday.
