This Rockdale Tiger Train is still rolling down the track and winning ball games.
Big Blue was busy last week taking on Hempstead at home on Monday and winning 10-0. Later in the week the Tigers played in the Rosebud-Lott Tournament and came out with a 3-0-1 record in the tournament. The Tigers beat Holland with an astonishing score of 18-0, Groesbeck 8-3, Mumford 5-2 and tied Palestine Westwood 4-4.
Former Tiger and head baseball coach Austin Caffey said, “We are continuing to get better. I was pleased with our defense. We executed some specific things we’ve been working on and consistently made routine plays.”
“At the plate we are doing a good job of not expanding the zone and making the opposing pitchers come to us,” he added.

JV— The JV team had an impressive win against Hempstead at home, winning 8-0.
