Tigers Roar Past the Bears
The Tanglewood Tigers beat the
Bedlam Bears last night in their first
game of the season. The Tigers won
the game. The Tigers’ pitcher, Dash
Nash, pitched a great game. His
dog is named Skipper. In the first
inning it looked like Nash would be
taken out of the game for
walking the first three batters.
He walked three in a row. He settled
down and struck out the next three
Bears that came to the plate.
The Bears wear their socks on the
outside of their pants. Some
players have stripes on their socks
and some do not. The Bears have astrong team this year. It was a
surprising loss for them. They did
not expect to lose to the Tigers.
The Bears’ starting line-up is
considered to be the best in the
league. Last year, four of the
players made the All-Star team.
The final score was Tigers 12,
Bears 3. The Tigers beat the Bears
by 9 points. The two teams will
meet again in two weeks. The
Bears expect to even the score.
The Bears take a yellow school
bus to games. It should be an
exciting game. I think everyone in
the school should come!73
