"Sometimes, you've got to tip your hat to the other team, and tonight was one of those nights. It's just hard to tip your hat to a team that approaches the game of baseball much differently than you do."
The Tigers scored runs in each of the first two innings, followed by two more runs in the fifth. MP had a two-run first and a three-run third.
Wednesday's game marks the end of Madison-Plains' involvement in the SCOL.
