The Bronco Division Athletics opened the season with a 23-8 win over the Tigers.
The game was close through the first three innings, with Tigers’ pitcher Jackson Gion and A’s hurler Westyn Hersovitch keeping both offenses in check.
Hersovitch kept the Tigers scoreless through three innings and recorded five strikeouts during that stretch, while the A’s put two runs on the board in the first, highlighted by a Nelson Pyle triple.
