With gusting winds blowing in from center field, defense was tough to play.  The Tigers took advantage of starter Nick Sundquist in the first and scored three runs.  Windham had opportunities in the game with a handful of base runners but could not manage to put the ball in play to put runs across the plate.  Tiger’s starting pitcher Pat Roilson made the best with his fastball followed by off-speed pitches to keep the Eagles guessing on pitch location.

Windham changed pitchers in the fifth inning.  Cole Corey came on in relief for Nick Sunquist and surrendered three runs.  The Eagles attempted to answer in the sixth when Christian Coons scampered home when Colby Waterhouse reached base on a fielding error at second base.  Waterhouse scrambled to second and then stole third.  He was stranded at the end of the inning.
